The "Personnel of the Future" talent development program has launched at the Polytechnic University. This is a pilot HR policy project supported by the Priority 2030 program. The project is being implemented under the leadership of Maria Vrublevskaya, SPbPU Vice-Rector for HR Policy.

The opening ceremony was attended by Polytechnic employees appointed by the heads of various structural divisions to undergo an intensive educational and motivational program.

Maria Vrublevskaya presented a report on the new concept of personnel policy.

In June, we formulated the mission of our HR policy: the emergence of new stars at Polytechnic University: chief designers, world-renowned scientists, recognized experts, and future leaders in education, business, and government. The emergence of new stars requires specific conditions: systematic talent management, a favorable development environment, and a high level of managerial maturity. The "Future Workforce" program will form the foundation of our talent development system, giving you the opportunity to better understand yourself, acquire relevant competencies, and rethink your role and contribution to the university's activities and reputation, noted Maria Vrublevskaya.

Over the course of two months, Polytechnic students will complete intensive courses on management competencies and a series of workshops on communication skills. They will also attend lectures on the implementation of AI in educational and business processes, as well as on strategic planning. They will also improve their IT skills and complete two stress management training sessions. A key part of the program for each participant will be the development and presentation of a project for the development of their department or the university as a whole. This will allow Polytechnic students to put into practice many of the skills acquired during the educational program.

Tatyana Morina, an expert in the Strategic Planning and Development Department at SPbPU and the program's author, commented on its intensity: "The program was intellectually intense. Given the high workload of the Polytechnic students, completing the program will require motivation, significant effort, and some compromises. Therefore, the main principle of our work with participants is systematic organizational support and an individual approach to each student. In the initial survey, 80% of respondents cited an interest in development and the relevance of the program as their motivation. This is encouraging. Maintaining such a high level of engagement is our primary goal."

External experts have been brought in to deliver intensive courses, workshops, training sessions, and lectures, as well as to profile digital and soft competencies. Polytechnic experts will lead a number of events, and SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy will speak at the program's final event.

Project defenses will take place in mid-December, and the program's finalists will begin the new year with the opportunity to implement their projects and contribute to the university's development, building reputational capital and the conditions for the emergence of new Polytechnic stars.
