​Two teams will represent the Trans-Baikal Territory in the final of the League of Working Specialties

12 student teams from 9 regions of Russia became the strongest in League of Working Professions and they will go to the final of the competition in Moscow. Among them are two teams from the Trans–Baikal Territory. The competition is held with the assistance of The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which is supported by the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunity".

The League of Working Specialties is a practice-oriented competition among college and college students based on engineering and technical creativity. The organizer of the competition is the Reliable Shift Foundation. The project is being implemented using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society and with the support of the CASE-IN championship.

"In the qualifying stage, students from an enlarged group of Engineering, Technology and Technical Sciences specialties from more than 30 regions of Russia competed in solving real practical problems. At the competition, students gain professional knowledge, experience and new competencies, as well as opportunities for internships and further employment," said Artem Korolev, director of the Reliable Shift Foundation.

During the qualifying stage, students developed mockups, products or devices for their industry in 20 days that can act as import-substituting products and ensure Russia's technological leadership. There are 2 teams from the Trans–Baikal Territory among the 12 teams that performed the best and received tickets to the finals.

The Nevyazochka-75 team represents Chita Polytechnic College. Students Alexey Fomin, Vladislav Grischuk, Elizaveta Mikhailenko and Daria Pershikova created a device to facilitate the work of surveyors in the field.

"Nowadays, geodetic instruments are being actively improved, but auxiliary elements such as a tripod remain unchanged. It takes a lot of time to install a tripod, and it is not always possible to install a tripod on the first attempt. Our device is self-levelling relative to the Earth's surface, which reduces the installation time of the device, thereby increasing the time for taking readings. Accordingly, the results will be much more accurate," said team captain Alexei Fomin.

"We managed to reach the finals due to the fact that our project is relevant, and there is no such device in Russia," comments Alexey Fomin.

The participants believe that very gifted and motivated teams have made it to the finals, with whom they can share their experiences.

The second team of the Transbaikalia finalists is the Uran team of the Krasnokamensk Mining and Industrial College.

Sofia Amararitsa, Kristina Sukhareva, Valeria Yaroslavtseva, Daria Venediktova have developed a solution for the Priargunsky Industrial Mining and Chemical Association: They modeled a crushing and screening complex with the replacement of imported equipment - a cone crusher - with Russian-made jaw crushers.

The finalists emphasized that the topic of creating a mock-up of the crushing and screening complex (DSC) arose from the team during the study of ore preparation processes in an interdisciplinary course and interested the guys, since the uranium enrichment process takes place directly at the enterprise in their hometown.

"Our solution will simplify the maintenance and repair of crushing equipment, as well as eliminate the process of ore preparation of poor uranium ore at the ore processing plant of the hydrometallurgical plant. It took a lot of effort and time to create the mock-up in order to study in detail the technological process of uranium processing," explained Sofia Amararitsa, the captain of the team.

In the final, students from Transbaikalia will meet with colleagues from St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Nizhny Novgorod, Kemerovo, Chelyabinsk Region, Komi Republic, Perm and Primorsky Krai.

On December 15, the contestants will present improved versions of their solutions to the industry community, undergo educational trainings, master important professional competencies and be able to declare themselves to representatives of the largest industry companies.

The champions and prize-winners of the project will undergo internships and internships in leading industrial companies with the possibility of further employment. The winners will receive diplomas and valuable prizes, as well as an invitation to travel to interesting regions of Russia along with the "More than a Trip" program.
