Every year, VGC offers the best finalists to complete an industrial and paid internship at the Solntsevsky Coal Mine, the largest coal mining enterprise in the Far East (Uglegorsky district), and then get a permanent job here. 

The Student League "CASE-IN" competitions will be held within the framework of the championship from February to May 2019. They will be held in 56 technical universities in Russia and the CIS countries. More than 7,000 future engineers of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes will take part in the qualifying stages. In the new season, students will have to offer solutions to engineering cases on a single topic "Digital Transformation". 

The competitions will be held in seven industry areas in a face-to-face competition format. Teams of 3-4 students will have to solve production tasks based on real-world situations of enterprises. 

Vostochnaya Mining Company will also offer internships with the prospect of employment at Solntsevo Coal Mine to the strongest participants of the 2019 Mining Championship.

In total, in the period from 2016 to 2018, about 70 participants of the championship were trained at the branch at the invitation of VGC. These are 3-4-year students of the department of mining at the Far Eastern Federal University and Kuzbass State Technical University (Kemerovo). 

After graduation, 4 graduates returned to the Uglegorsky district for permanent work at the Solntsevo mine. Another young miner is expected this year. 

Among them is Lyudmila Zakharishcheva, a native of Blagoveshchensk and a graduate of FEFU. The girl returned to the enterprise in 2017 as a district surveyor, but very soon, due to her competence, she was appointed an engineer for drilling and blasting operations, and then deputy technical director of the mine.

"I'm happy with the way my professional start turned out, I'm happy with the conditions offered," Lyudmila shared her impressions. – I have the opportunity to work in modern, advanced mining production. This allows me to improve and develop professionally. The company takes care of young promising personnel, provides opportunities for personal and career growth, and provides comfortable housing. I'm not even thinking about changing my job."

In addition to paying for their work experience, Vostochnaya Mining Company will also pay for transportation costs and provide housing for the participants of the next championship.
