Young and promising: the fifth Case-in Championship is being held in Yekaterinburg

Yekaterinburg students are competing for jobs at the largest enterprises in the region. The fifth international engineering Case-in championship has started today, in which young specialists must defend their projects for the organization and modernization of large-scale production.

A timid performance, jittery at the sight of a large audience, but at the same time – confident answers: These students are not used to performing on stage, but they certainly know how to supply energy to a large mining and processing plant.

Viktor Zubarev, captain of the VAKH team: "When we opened and read the entire assignment, we thought that everything had already been decided, we did not understand what we needed to do. There were difficulties, yes, but we resolved them, because we all understand each other, we all want to get through it, we all want to perform successfully."

The VAKH team, whose name stands for "volt-ampere characteristic", is participating in the fifth Case-in championship, which started today in Yekaterinburg. These are engineering competitions where students have to complete a certain task in ten days. They present their solution to the specialists of the largest industrial enterprises.

Artem Korolev, director of the Reliable Change Foundation: "They are considering the equipment that is offered, and they are calculating the options, the economy, they are offering when it pays off, they are giving some decisions on personnel, management, that is, they are offering a large system complex, but, in fact, this is the future of the enterprise, an object or an entire region."

The championship is divided into five areas: electric power industry, mining, geological exploration, metallurgy and oil and gas business. The students' task is to demonstrate their knowledge gained during their years of study at the university. Those who are already interning at enterprises can also take part in the competition. For several years in a row, the Sverdlovsk branch of T Plus has been a partner of this championship. The energy industry uses this platform to select the most promising specialists.

Sergey Evgenevsky, Head of the Advanced Development Department of the Sverdlovsk Branch of PJSC T Plus: "There were two such teams last year. One is from employees of targeted programs, and one is from employees who already work in our company, at least partially. Accordingly, our company's goal of being present every year has been achieved. In fact, the company is also looking at the rest of the employees, the rest of the participants, in order to be able to hire us."

The championship will be held in 35 regions of Russia. During this time, the best teams will be selected from each university. The final will be held in Moscow in May. The victory will give young professionals the opportunity to receive an increased scholarship and a prestigious job.
