Future power engineers from Novocherkassk visited the exhibition-forum "Russia"

Students of the Faculty of Energy of YURGPU (NPI) attended the Energy Day, held as part of the Forum of National Achievements. New acquaintances, promising career offers and a vibrant innovation space were what awaited the polytechnics at the International Exhibition and Forum "Russia".

The organizers of the Energy Day were the Government of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. The event is operated by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Reliable Shift Educational Project Foundation.

Energy Day brought together heads of energy departments and organizations, heads of major international and Russian energy companies, leading representatives of the business, expert and media communities, as well as young engineers, winners and prize-winners of youth industry projects, inventors and innovators in one business space.

The delegation of Novocherkassk Polytechnic included students of the Faculty of Energy: Vadim Grinets, Mikhail Bobrov, Kirill Danilyuk, Vladislav Karpenko. Accompanied by Alexander Valeryevich Ukraintsev, Senior lecturer at the Department of Electric Power Plants and Electric Power Systems, the young power engineers participated in the Plenary Session and Dialogue on an equal footing, as well as visited the Job Fair.

One of the key events of the program is a dialogue on equal terms with Alexander Novak, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Andrey Chibis, Governor of the Murmansk Region, and Mikhail Kotyukov, Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The speakers discussed topical issues of the energy industry with the students. One of the topics of discussion was the topic of hydrogen energy.

"We are very actively engaged in this promising area," said Alexander Novak. - There is a project on hydrogen energy approved by the Chairman of the government. And Russia's goals are ambitious – we plan to occupy at least 20% of the global energy market in the future."

Andrey Chibis and Mikhail Kotyukov talked about career opportunities for energy industry workers in their regions.

"We have a project called Heading North. His goal is to attract specialists to our region," Andrey Chibis shared. "We are looking for specialists, we pay extra to those who work for us if they help convince their friends and acquaintances to come to us. Last year, for the first time since 1991, more people came to our region than left. Our conditions are good. Yesterday I met with employees of FSUE Atomflot, the average salary there is 212 thousand rubles. The average salary in the region's economy is close to 100,000 rubles."

"The Krasnoyarsk Territory is a unique region from the point of view of energy," Mikhail Kotyukov said. - We have hydropower, thermal energy, the richest coal deposits, and competence centers for nuclear technologies. One of our closed municipalities was fully provided with heat and electricity due to an experimental nuclear reactor, and there is such an experience. We are currently working on creating a virtually new industry where nuclear fuel will operate in a closed-loop mode."

Thus, by participating in the Energy Day, students were able to learn more about the professional opportunities of the Russian energy industry that open up to university graduates.
