Student League Competitions Case-In in Chita, we went in the direction of "Mining". One of the objectives of the championship is to train specialists who can offer non–standard solutions for the development of production. Seven teams had to solve the task of developing a diamond deposit. They analyzed the problem of permafrost, chose a method of extraction, and offered profitable technological solutions.
 
Each team had only 6 minutes to defend the project and time to answer questions from experts – representatives of ZabGU, the Chita branch of the RANEPA and mining enterprises, including the leadership of the Kharanorsky mine and Chitaugol, which are part of the Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK). Experts assessed the potential of the participants and the prospects of the projects.
 
"Such events are good because they can identify the potential of students, create a talent pool for the company, and evaluate the quality of training. It is growing every year, as well as organizational skills. Considering that the guys occupy worthy positions in Moscow, I believe that the level of knowledge at the mining faculty of ZabGU is high. I would especially like to mention the C4 team, they took the third place. If everyone else worked "according to the classics", focusing on dispatching and economics, then C4 offered a real innovation – hydro-mechanical mining."- said the Deputy General Director for the production of the Kharanor mine Peter Gabidulin.
 
According to the organizers, young professionals are the driving force behind the development of production.

Alexander Chernov, First Deputy Executive Director of Chitaugol, has been acting as a Case-In expert for the third year now: "The level of preparation for the event is growing every year. The cases themselves are expanding from year to year. I note that these are tasks for design institutes, and the guys only have 10 days to prepare some kind of outline, this is a serious brainstorming session. Students of the Mining faculty are the main source that replenishes our staff. And recently, a specialty was opened where they train to be surveyors, which is very in demand. Such events are important not only for SUEK, but generally as a stage of personnel training that we will all work with in the future. They need to be conducted so that the guys understand what profession they are going into."
 
The teams were evaluated according to different criteria, and points were awarded for each one. The best, according to experts, were the members of the Green Machine team: Anatoly Kireev, Nikita Kachin, Vladimir Gavrilov, Anastasia Plotnikova. They will go to represent their native university in the finals of the Case-In championship, which will be held in Moscow on May 30-31 among the 500 best participants from all over Russia and the CIS countries.

In addition to gifts, the most promising participants will receive a chance to establish themselves, be remembered by potential employers, or receive job offers there, even before graduating from university.
