The All-Russian Youth Action Plan for 2026 has been approved

The All-Russian Youth Action Plan aimed at popularizing the fuel and energy complex, energy conservation and engineering education includes 17 projects. In 2026, at competitions, championships and Olympiads, schoolchildren, university, college and technical school students, and young company specialists will show their talents, master leadership thinking and cross-functional interaction skills, and gain opportunities to develop educational and career paths. 

The All-Russian plan was jointly approved by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and the NGO "Russia is a land of opportunity." The operator is the Foundation for Educational Projects "Reliable Shift".

"The project makes a significant contribution to shaping the personnel policy of the fuel and energy complex, develops the potential of young people and increases interest in the industry among the younger generation," said Dmitry Islamov, State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation. — The CASE-IN, which unites at least 20,000 people annually, brings up a reliable shift for today's specialists. I hope that the participants of the championship will demonstrate a fresh perspective, share knowledge with their peers and, most importantly, form a large-scale engineering youth community that will determine the key agenda of not only the electric power industry, but also the entire country in the foreseeable future."

"The plan unites the efforts of the government, industry companies and educational organizations. Together, we are holding federal events that prove to young people that the fuel and energy sector is not the last century, but a space for professional growth, engineering and ambition. We are once again gathering tens of thousands of young people under one wing — motivated, ready to offer ideas for the development of the industry and the whole country," said Andrey Betin, General Director of the Presidential Platform "Russia – Land of Opportunities", Rector of the Senezh Management Workshop.

According to Olga Petrova, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the plan, with the support of companies and universities, coordinates all possible formats of work with motivated young people.

"The planned events will become a lift for the professional and career development of young people," Olga Petrova emphasized. – Participants will create solutions aimed at developing the Russian economy. They will gain practical experience and will be able to discuss key topics with the country's leadership. The reward for the best will be additional USE points, advantages in continuing education at specialized universities, internships with employment opportunities, career prospects, trips to educational forums. We expect that as a result we will discover new bright talents."

A special place in the chain of projects of the All-Russian Plan is occupied by the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, which is held with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". Participants of the School and Student Leagues, the League of Working Specialties, the League of Young Professionals and Special Leagues will solve real production tasks based on the materials of the largest employers.

The Youth Day of the International Forum "Russian Energy Week" is traditionally popular.

"This is an effective platform for attracting promising personnel to the fuel and energy sector. promoting the brand of companies and universities in the youth and professional environment. - Artem Korolev, director of the Reliable Change Foundation, explained, - Not only ideas for a key industry agenda are generated here, but also the finals of two projects of the All-Russian Plan are being held.

Among them is the IT championship of the oil industry, in which employees of industry companies and students of leading universities from Russia and abroad develop innovative solutions to improve production efficiency. The winners of the Youth Global Energy Development Forecast will also present their projects at the REN Youth Day: current and future experts will present scientifically sound assumptions about the future parameters of energy development until 2035. The student direction of the project is held under the auspices of the CASE-IN championship.

The International Oil and Gas Youth Forum will be held again, which will invite participants to discuss relevant topics with experts and develop innovative solutions. Future and current specialists, as well as teachers from Russia and the CIS countries, will not only exchange experiences and present ideas for the development of the oil and gas industry, but will also join the events of the VI Oil Summit of the Republic of Tatarstan, the guests of honor of which will be top officials of Russia.

School students will be able to get acquainted with key professions and employers at the plan's events. They will spend their summer holidays on an industry shift. #It is brighter in the All-Russian Children's Center "Eaglet", dedicated to energy, ecology and energy efficiency, as well as respect for the environment and natural resources. The Smena Young Power Engineering School will open up the world of renewable and nuclear energy to the children, as well as modern trends in the digital transformation of the fuel and energy sector, reducing the carbon footprint, and introducing green and energy-saving technologies. In addition, students are invited to prove themselves at the All-Russian competition of creative, design and research works of students "#Together Brighter".

An important role is assigned to the strategic program for the development of energy classes "Russian Engineering School 2030", which implies the creation of new energy and engineering classes, circles of engineering and technical creativity. It is aimed at integrating gamification, championships and Olympiads, shaping values based on the traditions of Russian engineering, as well as creating a modern infrastructure, career guidance and mentoring system. 

For the first time in the All–Russian plan, the award of the best employer in the fuel and energy sector is designed to celebrate the achievements of Russian companies in the field of attracting, developing and supporting personnel. 43 companies participated in the 2025 award, and 12 of the best projects were awarded as part of the REN Youth Day.

Among the debutants are the All–Russian IT games, which will combine work with Russian software, business skills development and sports. The prize fund of the competition will be 2 million rubles.

In addition, the All-Russian Plan includes the International Interuniversity School of Energy Engineers of the Future "FIGIR" and the professional skills Championship "Professionals".
