Alexander Novak: CASE-IN makes a significant contribution to the training of a new generation of specialists for key sectors of the economy

The final of the XIV season of the largest competition for solving real production problems from industry companies, the International Engineering CASE–IN Championship, was summed up in Moscow.

Technological projects for the development of key areas of the economy were presented by students and current specialists from Russia, as well as 13 CIS and BRICS countries. The reward for the winners and prize-winners was the prospects for a successful start and development of a professional career. The championship is supported by the presidential platform "Russia is a land of Opportunity", implemented within the framework of the Science to Win initiative and the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak noted that the CASE-IN championship makes a significant contribution to the development of the human and technological potential of our country.

"The CASE-IN International Engineering Championship makes a significant contribution to the training of a new generation of highly qualified specialists for key sectors of the economy and fully meets the goals of the national Cadres project. In close cooperation with the government, business and universities, the project opens up real career opportunities for young people. About 15 thousand students go through the championship every year, and one in three of them later find jobs in fuel and energy companies. Such initiatives not only promote healthy competition among engineering schools in our country, but also act as a powerful driver for the professional growth of young professionals. By solving current production tasks, participants gain valuable practical experience and analytical skills, becoming specialists that Russia urgently needs. For a young engineer, this is really one step from a training case to a workplace in a leading company.", – said Alexander Novak.
