Special league "Energy" of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN": the start of the fourth season

On May 30, 2022, the grand opening of the Special League at the Energia shift took place within the framework of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".  The CASE-IN championship is included in the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities".

The league's participants, young specialists from leading industry companies, will create new innovative projects to enhance production and solve environmental problems.

The purpose of the Special League "Energy" is to develop the competencies of young specialists of energy companies through solving technical and environmental problems using the case study method. The main competition program will be complemented by trainings, lectures and master classes.

The event is organized by the All-Russian Industrial Association of Employers of Energy Suppliers (RaPE Union), the Reliable Shift Charitable Foundation, and the Organizing Committee of the CASE-IN Championship.

Welcoming the participants of the new season, Founder and Co-Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" Artem Korolev He stressed that the Special League is steadily developing: "Last year, among the participants of the championship "CASE-IN" a survey was conducted. Among other things, we found out that every third solution developed on "CASE-IN", then it is implemented in companies. Every fourth participant is assigned to a higher position during the year. This suggests that today's leading employers are looking to young professionals participating in projects under the auspices of "CASE-IN"as future leaders, and their developments are of great importance for the country's industry. Therefore, take advantage of this opportunity to make yourself known. New knowledge, valuable advice from experts, and communication with colleagues from other teams will certainly be an important step in your professional and career development."

General Director of the All-Russian Industrial Association of Employers of Energy Suppliers (RaPE Union) Igor Mironov He believes that the Special League provides an opportunity for industry youth to demonstrate a fresh perspective on existing problems, to master professional and supra-professional competencies.

"The cases offered to the contestants were based on the real challenges facing energy companies. Employers today are interested in implementing new non-standard solutions and are ready to entrust big projects to confident young professionals with their innovative ideas that will become drivers of the industry's development. I am sure that the Special League will become not only an intellectual competition for ambitious employees, but also a platform for communication and learning best practices with the possibility of its further implementation in practice.", - Igor Mironov noted.  

The special league is traditionally supported by the country's leading industrial companies, LLC Baikal Energy Company, PJSC Mosenergo, PJSC OGK-2, LLC SGK, PJSC TGK-1, PJSC TGK-2.
