On February 16, the State University of Management presented a comprehensive study to the State Duma on the role of Russian Student Teams (RST) in the country's socioeconomic development.
The presentation was part of events celebrating RSO Day: a conference on the role of student brigades in training personnel for the country's economy and a roundtable discussion on legislative support for employment, including through student brigades.
Representatives of the movement, competition winners, and heads of regional branches of the RSO met with Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Alexander Zhukov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and graduate of the State University of Management Artem Metelev, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and Chairman of the RSO Supervisory Board Mikhail Kiselev, Chair of the Board of the Russian Student Brigades Yulia Drozhzhina, State Duma deputies, and representatives of the Government of the Russian Federation and federal executive bodies.
Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, Grigory Gurov, Head of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and Associate Professor of the State University of Management's Department of Public and Municipal Administration, and Natalya Pushkareva, Director of the 14-35 Center for Sociological Research, presented a monograph on a comprehensive study of the role of the RSO in the country's socioeconomic development. The study was conducted by the 14-35 Center for Sociological Research of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science with the support of the Russian Science Foundation.
"For universities, the topic of interaction between educational organizations and employers is especially relevant today. We strive to prepare specialists with general scientific fundamental knowledge in various fields, who meet market demands, and who share traditional spiritual and moral values and strive to contribute to their country. This requires a well-established system of interaction between the university and employers, which can be built using the extensive experience of Russian Student Teams," said Vladimir Stroyev.
Grigory Gurov drew the audience's attention to the importance of internships and practical training for choosing a professional path.
"Together with a large team, including the State University of Management, we are creating a new order, taking into account new economic challenges, so that young people can feel like an important part of the country's development—part of a unified economy. To this end, we are implementing initiatives within the framework of the national project "Youth and Children," including for the youngest students—"First in Profession" from the Movement of Firsts, and "More Than Just a Job" for students and young professionals. Russian student brigades are the driving force behind this ambitious effort," noted the head of Rosmolodezh.
The monograph combines theoretical, sociological, and economic approaches, revealing the multifaceted contribution of the student brigades movement to addressing key national challenges. The study's key findings emphasize that student brigades not only contribute to addressing current socioeconomic challenges (youth employment, regional development, and industry support) but also build a talent pool and strengthen civic identity and social cohesion. Based on these studies, recommendations are proposed for optimizing student brigades' interactions with educational institutions, businesses, and the government.
The meeting also included a ceremony to present diplomas from the 10th International Competition for the Best Scientific and Educational Publication, "Academus," to the team of authors of the monograph.
