Students of SIBUR's specialized classes are regular participants of the CASE-IN championship

Starting from the new academic year, the SIBUR Classes educational program for high school students, which has been implemented for several years on the basis of schools No. 9 and 18 in Tobolsk with the support of the Department of Education and SIBUR Corporate University, is being transformed into individual educational trajectories of engineering and technology for schoolchildren of any educational institution in the city.

10th grade students are enrolled in individual educational paths with in-depth study of chemistry, physics, mathematics and IT disciplines until September 8 inclusive. When enrolling in the program, the results of the state final assessment at the end of the 9th grade, the average score of the certificate and the project portfolio are taken into account. An adaptation week will be held until September 17 with the Corporate University and the company's partners who are involved in the implementation of the program, which will allow students to make a final informed decision on admission to the SIBUR educational track.

What is SIBUR's individual trajectory? This:

– additional classes in the afternoon from leading teachers of the Mendeleev Russian Technical Technical University to prepare for the Unified State Exam and Olympiads;

– immersion in the processes through a special course on petrochemistry, developed by the SIBUR Corporate University in cooperation with the Union of Oil and Gas Industrialists of Russia;

– advanced study of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and IT disciplines;

– the first profession on the basis of the Tobolsk multidisciplinary College;

– a workshop on innovative training facilities at SIBURINTECh;

– career counseling and meetings with the leadership of the country's leading universities.

The program participants implement engineering and technical projects with mentors from leading Russian universities and SIBUR, as well as participate in major national and international competitions and championships such as the CASE-IN School League, WorldSkills Russia in the "Juniors", "Big Challenges", etc.

"In the new academic year, we decided on a unique experiment, transforming the SIBUR Classes curriculum implemented in Tobolsk in schools No. 9 and 18 into individual educational trajectories. This approach blurs the boundaries of the educational space between high school students from different schools in the city and gives students the opportunity to receive high-quality preparation for the Unified State Exam and admission to the country's leading universities in engineering and chemical technology fields, regardless of the educational institutions they will graduate from., – explains Yulia Vorotnikova, Head of the Practice for Interaction with Educational Institutions and Young Specialists at SIBUR Corporate University. – At the same time, schools No. 9 and No. 18 become operators of these trajectories, cascading the accumulated experience of implementing educational programs in specialized classes to students of other educational institutions. In fact, we have transferred the principle of training targeted students to the school, ensuring the targeted development of students who have made an informed choice about the future in the engineering field."  

"Since 2017, together with schools No. 9 and 18 in Tobolsk and SIBUR, we have been implementing additional training programs for high school students in chemistry, physics and mathematics as part of the national Education project. The key objectives of this approach are comprehensive career guidance for students, high–quality preparation for the Unified State Exam, popularization of engineering and technical professions for which there is currently a shortage of personnel, and the creation of a system for identifying and developing students' abilities and talents., – He says Natalia Belysheva, Director of the Education Department of the Tobolsk City Administration. – The result of four years of work in this area is that more than 90% of graduates of specialized classes have entered advanced universities in the country and are undergoing production internships at large enterprises. Therefore, in 2021, we decided to translate the successful experience of implementing education in specialized classes into individual trajectories for high school students, providing students with equal opportunities to relevant and sought-after additional education programs in engineering and technology."

SIBUR has been training future specialists for modern petrochemical industries since they were at school. In 2020, the company also jointly with the Mendeleev Russian Technical Technical University and the Department of Education and Science of the Tyumen Region launched the Mendeleev Classes project, a set of preparation courses for the Unified State Exam and Olympiads for high school students in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. For many years, SIBUR has been cooperating with dozens of leading Russian universities, implementing joint programs for targeted training of students for petrochemical production, providing them with the opportunity to practice at their enterprises. Every year, more than 400 graduates of corporate targeted programs at universities become young specialists at SIBUR.

"It is very interesting to study in SIBUR's specialized class: last academic year we additionally studied programming and IT disciplines, as well as with leading teachers of the Mendeleev Russian Technical Technical University in chemistry, physics and mathematics, developed projects and learned how to present them correctly. All this helped me become a prize-winner of the city Olympiad in mathematics and physics, the winner of the city stage of the scientific and practical conference "Step into the Future" in the field of Ecology, the winner of the city competition "Youth Elite – 2021" in the nomination "Discovery of the Year", – He says Polina Mukhamedzhanova, a student of SIBUR's individual educational trajectory, an eleventh-grader at Secondary School No. 9 with in-depth study of individual subjects. – In the summer of 2021, SIBUR organized a trip to St. Petersburg for successful students of specialized classes with a rich cultural and educational program and an introduction to St. Petersburg Mining University and the engineering and technical specialties in which the university teaches. This is important for those who plan to enroll in SIBUR's core fields of study at the country's largest universities in the future." 

In the new academic year, students from schools in Noyabrsk, Muravlenko, Gubkinsky in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and Svobodny in the Amur Region will be able to prepare for the Unified State Exam and admission to universities according to SIBUR's individual educational trajectories. In addition to Tobolsk high school students, students from schools in Noyabrsk, Muravlenko, Gubkinsky in the Yamalo–Nenets Autonomous District and Svobodny in the Amur Region will be able to fully replicate the program in the listed regions of presence.

To apply for training in SIBUR's individual educational paths, you need to contact the educational departments of your schools.
