SIBUR is a prize—winner of the "Creating the Future" contest thanks to its participation in the CASE-IN

SIBUR became one of the winners of the VII All-Russian competition of the best practices of employers in the socio-humanitarian sphere "Creating the future". The competition is held with the support of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation, the Association of Citizens and Organizations for the Promotion of Corporate Education "MAKO". SIBUR's Nizhny Novgorod enterprises contributed to the company's victory, the holding's press service reports. 

In the "Leaders of the Present" nomination, for creating systemic opportunities for the development of leadership and leadership teams, the first place was awarded to SIBUR's First Element program for the development of young professionals, which proved its effectiveness in 2019 and 2020 with the victories of young professionals at the international CASE-IN, Engineer of the Year, and YPLC IOM3 championships. In particular, in 2020, the SIBUR-Neftekhim team from Dzerzhinsk became the winner of the CASE-IN engineering championship in the League of Young Specialists.

SIBUR won the first place in the "Synergy of Cooperation" nomination for the development of cooperation between employers, government authorities, public organizations, non-profit organizations and a project to create corporate classes. The experience of the Tobolsk classes became a prototype for the regional engineering education systems of the Amur Region and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, which successfully adapted it in their territories.  

SIBUR became the silver medalist in the "Leaders of the Future" nomination for the creation of programs for the professional and social adaptation of children and youth. The competition jury highly appreciated the company's efforts to develop a targeted student training system, which in 2020 was implemented in 10 regions of the company's presence and brought together over 300 students. In the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the program is conducted jointly with the R.E. Alekseev NSTU and its branch, the Dzerzhinsky Polytechnic Institute. In the spring of 2020, a team of students with targeted training for SIBUR-Kstovo reached the finals of the Student League of the CASE IN Engineering Championship.

"SIBUR's programs with schools and universities penetrate deeply into the educational ecosystem of the regions: from the equipment or reconstruction of the space in which schoolchildren receive knowledge, to the training of experts and teachers who transmit knowledge and form the engineering basis. Thus, systematic work with teachers and students of corporate engineering classes has allowed for 3 years to raise the level of preparation for the Unified State Exam and increase the number of motivated applicants to partner universities of the company. We thank the members of the jury for their appreciation of our work," said Yulia Vorotnikova, head of the company's practice for working with universities, colleges and schools. 

"We are very pleased that we have developed a stable community of employers who have been investing responsibly in their employees for many years, developing their regions of presence, investing in education and training - in the future of their enterprises: schoolchildren, students, and the talent pool," said Olga Golyshenkova, President of the IACS Association. 

The competition was first held at the Moscow International Education Salon in 2014. Since then, it has become a tool for developing a culture of cooperation - the exchange of best practices between Russia's largest employers, the popularization of new technologies and the expansion of the boundaries of individual corporate projects.

SIBUR-Kstovo, RusVinil (Kstovo, SIBUR joint venture and Solvay), SIBUR-Neftekhim (Dzerzhinsk) and BIAXPLEN (Balakhna) enterprises operate in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. The products of these enterprises are used in the fight against the new coronavirus infection, in particular, in the production of antiseptics, medical devices such as IV systems, containers for sampling, blood transportation, etc., as well as protective equipment – masks, suits, gloves, shoe covers – and packaging materials with barrier (protective) properties that allow to preserve the purity of water, food, and household items.
