The CASE-IN championship will help Khabarovsk schoolchildren become highly qualified power engineers

The extracurricular activity course "Russia – my horizons" continues in schools of the Khabarovsk Territory. The program is implemented within the framework of a career guidance minimum developed on the basis of materials from the Ticket to the Future project. Career guidance for schoolchildren is included in the federal project "Professionalism" of the presidential national project "Youth and Children".

Weekly classes help students to get acquainted with the achievements of the country, explore economic sectors and the regional labor market, as well as learn about promising professions and specialties.

One of these lessons was held at Gymnasium No. 3 named after M.F. Pankov. Mikhail Kritsky, the curator of the Youth Council of the Branch of JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System" of the ODU of the East, Deputy Head of the Operational Dispatch Service, addressed the 7th grade students.

The representative of the energy company told the students about the structure of the energy system of the country and the Far East, about the work of the System Operator and key energy enterprises in the region. The students learned what tasks energy engineers solve, where they can get specialized education and how to build a successful career in this field.

The guest paid special attention to the opportunities for students who are passionate about engineering. Mikhail Kritsky introduced the seventh graders to the activities of the Reliable Shift Foundation and the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, in which high school students from all over the country participate annually in the School League. The students actively joined in the conversation: they were interested in the issues of admission to universities, the choice of exams and employment prospects in the energy company of the region.

"The energy sector of the Far East is developing dynamically, and today it needs young, motivated personnel. At such meetings, we try not only to talk about the profession, but to show the guys real prospects. The sooner a student thinks about his future, the more consciously he will approach the choice of specialty and the sooner he will be able to become a part of our industry," said Mikhail Kritsky.

Conducting career guidance events with the participation of current specialists from the largest enterprises in the region is an important part of the "Russia — My Horizons" course. Live communication with professionals allows students to see the practical side of professions, assess the relevance of engineering specialties and make an informed choice in favor of further education in technical areas.
