Summing up the results of the championship, Member of the Management Board, Director of Personnel Management at JSC SO UES Bayrta Perveyeva noted: "Working with young people is an important area of the personnel policy of the System Operator. We have been interacting with our future employees and their parents since they were in school. We talk about professional activities in the electric power industry, working conditions, professional and career prospects in a System Operator, and provide senior students with the opportunity to study physics and mathematics in our energy groups. The fruits of this work are the high results of the Unified State Exam for school graduates, as well as the high level of academic achievement at the university..

The system operator has been a strategic partner of the CASE-IN championship since 2015. We have been supporting the most massive branch of the Electric Power industry since its appearance in the Student League and give team members the opportunity to get involved in solving the most pressing problems of the electric power industry. I am pleased to note that young specialists and undergraduates studying under the Society's programs constantly demonstrate a high level of professional training and win prizes."
