An off-site session, "Work of the Future: From Active Measures to Systematic Workforce Training," was held in Gorno-Altaisk. The event was part of the federal project "Active Measures to Promote Employment," and was organized by Tomsk State University, the project's federal operator. The session brought together representatives of leading universities, regional government agencies, and businesses to identify key development milestones for the project through 2026.
Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University discussed its experience participating in the federal program and the updated architecture for implementing the project within the university. The university is consistently expanding its network of industrial partners, strengthening its analytical capabilities, and integrating modern technologies, including artificial intelligence tools, into its training and support processes.
At the session, the university also presented the results of modernizing its internal project implementation processes. In 2025, a comprehensive reorganization of the project's work was carried out: new mechanisms for interaction with employment services were created, program development was strengthened to meet business (B2B) and government (B2G) needs, and a multi-level system for analyzing and monitoring educational outcomes was implemented.
Ivan Kurta, Head of the Directorate for Continuing Education and Industry Partnerships, noted the strategic importance of the university's participation in this federal initiative: "It is crucial for us not only to fulfill the project's operational objectives but also to develop a flexible, technologically advanced, and scalable training system. The federal project is a space for genuine partnership between universities, regions, and employers. We highly value our collaboration with Tomsk State University—colleagues who demonstrate strategic vision and powerful expertise. Support, the exchange of methods, and joint project solutions—all this makes it possible to strengthen results and develop new learning models. I am confident that such events are key growth points for the entire continuing education system."
Expert discussions focused on the transition from isolated employment support measures to the development of a comprehensive human capital development system. Participants discussed analytical data, including labor market transformation, employment dynamics, limitations of digital services for businesses, and factors influencing graduate employment success.
Special attention was paid to adapting the federal project to regional specifics: developing early career guidance, deepening interaction with employers, creating differentiated programs for different categories of students, increasing the role of data in forecasting labor demand and assessing learning outcomes.
Polytechnic University has set an ambitious goal: to significantly increase the volume of student training by 2026, expanding its network of partner sites, regions of presence, and range of educational programs. Particular attention will be paid to training personnel for high-tech manufacturing, transport and logistics, the IT sector, technological sovereignty industries, as well as special programs for participants in special military operations.
The session in Gorno-Altaisk became a significant platform for exchanging best practices and developing concrete proposals for project development. Polytechnic University is consistently strengthening its position in the implementation of the National Personnel Project and contributing to the development of a modern system of continuous education focused on the real economic needs of the regions and the country as a whole.
