Every year, university graduates who take part in the championship come to work in companies in key sectors of the Russian economy. Students prepare for the start of their professional careers by honing their university-acquired competencies at the CASE-IN championship.

"We have mastered analytical skills while working on the material, and communication skills have helped our team to work together as a single organism.- says a participant in the Project Engineering department of the Student League, a student of the Siberian State Automobile and Road University Alina Kushnir, – Technical competencies with a creative bent were shown in the preparation and visualization of solutions. Managerial competencies were also mastered by the team when it was necessary to make a decision on setting tasks in the team."

Graduates are grateful to their universities for the opportunity to try their hand at various positions during their studies. According to more than 85% of respondents, educational institutions always provide practical training options at enterprises. The CASE-IN championship also helps universities in this task, connecting graduates and employers on its site.

This is how the members of the System Emperor team, students of the North Caucasus Federal University, and champions of the Electric Power Industry field were able to declare themselves.

"The CASE-IN is a unique championship, thanks to which we were able to get an internship twice at the branch of JSC United Energy System System Operator UDE of the South, and we will go back to this company, but this time for an internship.", – says the captain of the team Mikhail Lobanov.

The study demonstrated that for students to complete internships and internships, ALROSA JSC (PJSC), Gazprom Energoholding LLC, Gazpromneft-Energoservice LLC and Gazstroyprom JSC are priorities.

University education and internships in the country's largest companies help the study participants decide on their future profession. Students plan to become business analysts, geophysicists, ecologists, mining engineers, energy engineers, engineers of various fields: technologists, researchers, chemists, builders.

During the CASE-IN championship, university graduates learned about the activities of leading industry companies, this was emphasized by 50% of the study participants. The students made up the top 5 best companies in their opinion, which included ALROSA (PJSC), Gazprom Energoholding LLC, UC RUSAL, PJSC SIBUR Holding, and PJSC ROSSETI. For the sake of working in these companies, 70% of respondents are ready to move to another region. At the same time, 58% make the provision of housing a prerequisite.

The interviewed students expect the opportunity for study and development, high wages and rapid career growth from their future jobs. A friendly team and a convenient work schedule are also important.

The survey participants named companies where they would like to start a professional career.

Among the priority options are ALROSA (PJSC), Gazprom Energoholding LLC, UC RUSAL, Gazprom-Energoservice LLC and SIBUR Holding PJSC.

The organizing Committee of the CASE-IN championship will continue the practice of researching the employer's brand. According to analysts, such surveys make it possible to determine the expectations of engineering students and, if necessary, adjust the training course for the personnel reserve for key industries.
