Friendship ALROSA with The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN"  "Four years." During this time, the world's largest diamond mining company has established itself as an effective partner providing maximum opportunities for the personal and career development of industry youth.

ALROSA's activities are inextricably linked to the exploration, production and sale of diamonds. The ALROSA Group also includes enterprises producing diamonds and jewelry. Today, the company produces in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Arkhangelsk region, and also has a representative office in several countries around the world.

The group's enterprises implement numerous corporate programs for the professional growth of employees who receive educational and professional development opportunities. Free medical care, comfortable living conditions, and wages (above the national average) are far from the main factors that make ALROSA one of the industry's leading human resources companies.

At the CASE-IN championship, ALROSA supports students in the fields of Mining and Exploration. The diamond mining giant sees them as a new generation of engineers who can join the ranks of the company's specialists tomorrow.

"Every year, leading ALROSA specialists prepare case solutions for future industry professionals that are related to real production tasks.- explains the founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship Artem Korolev, - Students get acquainted with the life of a diamond mining company, develop key skills and competencies for future work. The winners and prize-winners receive a unique opportunity to complete an internship at the enterprises of the ALROSA group with a real salary of an average of 50 thousand rubles per month and a chance for future employment."

 "CASE-IN" is one of the tools for attracting promising and talented students to enterprises for practical training and, possibly, for further employment after graduation, since when solving cases, students get acquainted with the specifics of the enterprise. In turn, the championship is a good platform for young people to share their experience and knowledge with their peers, and to realize ambitious plans and goals.", − emphasizes the Head of the Personnel Selection and Development Center of ALROSA (PJSC) Natalia Petukhova.

Ilya Zikratsky and Elizaveta Mironova, students of Irkutsk National Research Technical University, who became winners in the field of Mining in 2020 and received internship permits at the Udachninsky Mining and Processing Plant (GOK), are a vivid example of the integration of the CASE-IN championship winners into the activities of a partner company. He produces diamonds at several sites, including the Udachnaya, Zarnitsa and Verkhne-Munskoye kimberlite pipes.

Elizaveta Mironova's tasks included accompanying mining operations, i.e. marking the axis of the road, drawing the boundaries of the capital exit onto the plan of the kimberlite pipe, etc.

"I like my future profession. In part, she is a little creative, and it is not for nothing that the word "surveyor" is translated from German as "the art of setting boundaries." Surveying is a fundamental industry that requires high precision, care, and perseverance. When you work in this environment, you realize how much the safety of other people depends on the quality of your work.",  Elizabeth says.

Ilya Zikratsky was assigned to a special department of the GOK for the position of a district surveyor of the Zarnitsa quarry, where he prepared materials necessary for field work.

"I have already completed three production practices. Each trip helps to learn from the experience of high-class professionals and to understand the intricacies of the surveying business. By the time the internship is completed, it is possible to discuss the issue of employment in the company. I am ready to move to Yakutia to continue building my career," Ilya shares his impressions.

The management of ALROSA provided the students with decent conditions: they were provided with housing in a new apartment-type dormitory, paid for flights and medical examinations. They signed a fixed-term employment contract with each of them.

Every student of a specialized university can repeat the path of students from the Irkutsk region. To do this, you need register to participate in the X season of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" and enthusiastically solve a case from a large diamond mining company.
