Trans-Baikal participants of the engineering CASE-IN championship get a chance to find a job in their specialty

The future is being created here. The regional capital hosts the qualifying stage of the league of working specialties of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". For the first time, students of secondary specialized educational institutions are participating in the competitions. The participants have already tested their theoretical knowledge. About the second stage of the competition - practical - Victoria Efimenkova. 

- And these here dumps?
- These are also transport dumps. Excavators, right? BelAZami!
- BelAZami? Excavators! They're taking it out.

Wrestling and rivalry are like in sports, but the main forces are knowledge, logic and professional ingenuity. One of the tasks is to answer the experts' questions correctly, observing the work that is boiling at the coal mine. The future miner Vladimir Kargin admits that he chose his profession on a whim, but the championship helped him understand that he had not lost! 

Vladimir Kargin, participant of the championship (Zabaikalsky Mining College named after M.I. Agoshkov): "They already call everywhere and invite you. We were already prepared for this, for everything, we were prepared. And in practice, of course, we have already been there before. Therefore, this is not a novelty for us.".

While the miners are remembering the correct answers, the electromechanics must check the electric motor for serviceability in 30 minutes, and then connect and start it. And here is the first victory.

Sergey Podgorbunsky, participant of the championship (Chita College of Railway Transport): "We knew from the beginning, we knew that we would start this engine, we were taught this, and not in vain".

In total, about 50 participants compete in the championship. These are students of the mining college, polytechnic technical schools and railway transport. The league gives each of the young people a chance to find a job in their specialty.

Anatoly Fomin, Head of the Personnel Selection and Development Department of SUEK JSC: "And people are like a powerful resource that we need in order for us to solve the tasks that we face strategically. That's why we came here, we want to show those young guys who are 18-19 years old where they can go and where they can develop in their region.".

The winners will receive a ticket to the All-Russian Scientific and Practical Forum of the Mining School, which will be held this summer in the Trans-Baikal Territory.
