"Applicants' interest in the transportation field is steadily growing. In 2025, nearly 5,800 first-year students were admitted to state-funded places at Moscow colleges—a 20 percent increase from the previous year. In total, nearly 15,000 students are studying transportation-related professions and specialties at Moscow colleges," the department's press service reported.
The Moscow Metro is the main strategic partner of the Moscow Transport College. Since 2021, they have been jointly implementing a student early employment project: nearly 90 percent of senior students begin working in metro departments during their internships and pre-graduation placements, combining employment with their studies.
The college's teaching laboratories are equipped with the latest technological advances and industry standards, and its curricula are adapted annually to changing work processes. Starting in their first year, students can sign a targeted agreement with the metro, which provides additional benefits, such as an increased stipend and free metro travel.
The program in vehicle maintenance and repair is in high demand among applicants and employers. Future specialists learn the full range of operations on modern vehicles, including electric vehicles, and also learn to work with customers at service centers.

The site will also feature unique practical training facilities, created jointly with key employers: the "Warehouse" logistics training center, co-founded by Lemana PRO and FM Logistics, and the "Transport Security" facility, co-created with Domodedovo Airport and Sheremetyevo Security.
