"CASE-IN" helped Irkutsk students to declare themselves

Future engineers were able to make themselves known at the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". A qualifying round was held in Irkutsk, as a result of which the strongest will continue to fight in the semifinals. By the way, this is also a chance to get a job in the country's large companies for the extraction and processing of gas, oil, and metals.

Thus began the qualifying stage of the "CASE-IN" championship. It brought together future specialists from various industries — mining, oil and gas, nuclear industry, IT, geological exploration, electric power industry. The students were divided into teams. Today, they were solving practical tasks that leading companies had set for them. Potential employers, you might say. These first—year students prepared their case in 10 days - they optimized the cost of airing the Udachny underground mine in Yakutia on behalf of the diamond mining corporation.

"We met online and offline with the guys and outlined goals, tasks, and who was responsible for what, and who would do what in our team", — says Anastasia Kalugina, a 1st-year student at the Institute of Subsoil Use of IRNTU.

 "I was given facts, I analyzed them, I chose the best information. Then we put them together and gave them a draft. The most important prospect is to get a job in the company — this is the most important thing. But at least they give you a certificate for participation — it's already a good boost for employment.", — says Ilya Usanov, a 1st-year student at the Institute of Subsoil Use of IRNTU.

They defend their project at the CASE-IN Engineering Championship in front of industry experts from the region. And they, in turn, select their cadres in this way. This international championship is included in the presidential platform "Russia — the land of opportunities".

«Why "CASE-IN" is really a social elevator is that students, starting from the first year, can think about how to properly build their professional career trajectory. This includes inclusion in targeted forms of education, and the opportunity to become a trainee specialist at an enterprise, and admission to a specialized specialized master's degree program. This is the receipt of personal scholarships from partner companies", — says the founder and co-chairman of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" Artem Korolev.

Following the results of the competition, the best teams will advance to the semifinals, where they will compete in knowledge with students from other universities in the Siberian Federal District.
