On April 5, the Samara State Technical University hosted the International Championship on Solving Fuel and Energy Cases (practical tasks) "Case-in". The Championship is the largest competition in Russia and the CIS countries among the best students and graduate students. It is based on the most modern technique of attracting, selecting and developing personnel, the "case method", and also represents a key personnel and communication platform for the industry.
The championship includes 5 independent leagues: in mining, in the electric power industry; in geological exploration; in metallurgy; in the oil and gas business. An expert commission is assigned to each area, including highly qualified specialists from Rosneft subsidiaries.
This year, 7 student teams of the oil and gas league competed for the right to become the first. From the very first minutes, the guys enthusiastically joined in the work. They had to present the solution of an engineering case based on the Company's materials. Experts from PAO "Orenburgneft", JSC "Samaraneftegaz", JSC "Samotlorneftegaz", LLC "SamaraNIPIneft" evaluated the work of potential personnel. Following the results of the competition, the Adventurers team won. In addition, the distinguished students were presented with corporate souvenirs by the delegation of PAO Orenburgneft, and in the near future they will have an internship with a workplace.
– The company is interested in recruiting promising young specialists. Dmitry Krasnov, Head of the Department of PAO Orenburgneft, representative of the league's expert commission on the oil and gas industry, emphasizes. – Watching the guys solve the cases, we are already drawing conclusions about who we would like to see among our employees in the future.
The Championship is primarily a unique engineering and practice-oriented educational project that encourages students to study the profession more deeply, current problems and methods of solving them in the industry. For experts who are potential employers, this is a chance to spot motivated guys with out–of–the-box thinking among the participants. Those who can be called nuggets.
