The Institute of Secondary Vocational Education at SPbPU held an IPMEiT Day. The event brought together ISPO students and representatives of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade. ISPO students learned about the program's program offerings, their practical focus and competitive advantages, the educational environment, and career prospects. They were also able to ask questions about admission and education.
Daria Shevchuk, one of the meeting's organizers, welcomed the participants. She introduced the structure of IPMEIT, discussed the undergraduate and specialist degree programs, the curriculum, and graduate employment opportunities.
Maxim Ivanov, Deputy Director for Advanced Projects and Youth Policy at the Institute of Economics, Management, and Telecommunications, introduced students to the institute's extracurricular activities. He spoke about student associations, city-wide and university-wide projects, emphasizing that participation in these activities helps develop leadership skills and professional competencies.
The meeting focused on a practice-oriented approach to education. A series of "professional auditions" were also held by representatives of the Institute of Industrial Management and Telecommunications (IPMEIT) higher education institutions. Ivan Volchkov, Assistant Professor at the Higher School of Industrial Management, conducted a master class on "Fundamentals of Production Logistics," where students were introduced to the principles of lean manufacturing and supply chain management. Students from the Institute of Industrial Management and Telecommunications (ISPO) were introduced to the "Production Process Factory" training and practical laboratory, where modern logistics systems and digital management solutions are simulated.
The Higher School of Service and Trade organized the intellectual game "Tourism Olympus" in a "Joint Game" format. Students worked in teams and answered questions on geography, travel, and the tourism industry, solved logic puzzles, and learned more about professions in tourism and hospitality. The game was led by Anna Karmanova, Associate Professor at the Higher School of Service and Trade and Head of the Service Program, and Ekaterina Tatyanina and Alexandra Skripkina-Kibas, second-year students in the Service and Hotel Management programs.
Ekaterina Ryabizo and Anna Maksimova, specialists from the Higher School of Public Administration, invited students to try their hand at urban planning supervision. Teams developed concepts for urban facilities, determined their locations, and substantiated their compliance with regulatory requirements, presenting their findings in the form of a "facility passport."
Vadim Shabunin, a Master's student at the Higher School of Business Engineering, led a master's class, "What is Business Analytics." He introduced ISPO students to the fundamentals of business analysis. The master class served as a first step toward a career as an analyst. The students learned about the key responsibilities of a business analyst, their interaction with artificial intelligence, and tried their hand at modeling business processes.
Another interactive format was the economic game "The Economy of Goodness in Action," led by first-year students majoring in Economics at the Higher School of Engineering and Economics, Daniil Velichko and Yegor Skidanenko. They presented their own quiz. "Economic Problem" and "Guess the First Time" allowed ISPO students to demonstrate not only their professional competencies but also their resourcefulness, sense of humor, and teamwork skills.
"It's important for us not only to share information about the programs offered at the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Technology, but also to provide ISPO students with the opportunity to explore various professional roles. This format helps them better understand their future specialty, recognize its practical significance, and make an informed choice of educational path," noted Maxim Ivanov, Deputy Director for Advanced Projects and Youth Policy at the Institute of Mechanics, Economics, and Technology.
The IPMEiT Day at ISPO was held in an interactive format and friendly atmosphere, allowing students not only to broaden their understanding of future educational opportunities at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University but also to gain first-hand experience in a variety of fields—from public administration to business analytics and logistics.
ISPO students were able to try themselves in a variety of professional roles. "We strive to ensure that every day spent at the university brings students closer to their future careers," noted Irina Zaychenko, Head of the Educational Programs Directorate.
