During the last week of October, Novosibirsk State University hosted a series of events dedicated to student career advancement. For over seven years, the NSU Career Development Center has been organizing the traditional "Career Forum," but this year the format was significantly updated and given a new name—"Career Fest." This change was the result of analyzing attendance and the needs of both students and employers.

Victoria Maltseva, Partner Relations Manager at the NSU Career Development Center, explains that "Career Fest" isn't just a name change, but also a fundamentally new format. It includes open discussions and presentations, as well as game mechanics and practical activities implemented by employers and organizers to make communication and networking more lively and effective. It's important for students to interact with each other, gain skills, and actively work as a team.

Tatyana Ershova, a participant in the Beeline game-test and a master's student in Journalism at the NSU Humanities Institute, noted the practical value of the format:

"Today, we not only met colleagues who helped us navigate career situations, but also gained insight into our potential for many job openings. It was a unique experience to see employers' reactions to our requests and understand how to address issues within the company and in our own careers. Masterclasses like these truly open new horizons."

A key part of the program was a quiz day featuring career-related questions from the company "SHIFT." It tested participants' interview skills and their overall knowledge of the labor market. These team-based games develop communication skills—a key competency for any job seeker, the organizers emphasize.

Mikhail Savin, a student at the Faculty of Economics and a member of the winning team, admitted:

"The first round was the most challenging, but the team made it through. In the second, I learned a lot about student traditions, and in the third, how to build a successful career. It's a useful way to combine knowledge and gameplay."

According to Ekaterina Gonchar, a mentor at SHIFT, the main recommendation for students dreaming of a career in IT is to not stop at theory.

"IT is evolving so rapidly today that it's difficult to be successful without ongoing training and participation in conferences and internships. Practical experience is the main criterion for employers, not just a diploma."

Also, as part of the Career Fest, the ChemQuiz competition from Renewal was held for the first time, with over 50 students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technology at NSU taking part.

Svetlana Dovgal, Director of the NSU Career Development Center, emphasized that Career Fest combines individual and public events within a single week with the goal of significantly increasing student engagement. A new feature was the holding of the events in NSU's new building with spacious auditoriums, which was warmly welcomed by both participants and employers.

This year, students from the Humanities Institute actively helped organize the Career Fest. Grigory Feoktistov, Maxim Budko, Alina Motina, Alexandra Kuzmenko, students of the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Information Technology –Egor Vlasov And Lev Anisimov, as well as interns from the Career Development Center – Alexandra Mokina and Sofia Petukhova .

Students were involved in every stage of the organization: they developed the concept, conducted brainstorming sessions, were responsible for communications with companies, and even developed Career Agent branded merchandise. This is how a community is formed where young people acquire a crucial skill—confident interview skills, regardless of their field of study.

Svetlana Dovgal also emphasized that the Career Fest has become a true bridge between students and employers:

Companies see these games and sessions not only as a way to connect, but also as a chance to strengthen their brand, deepen connections with young people through interactivity, and engage them in internship programs.

The NSU Career Development Center intends to make "Career Fest" an annual event and continue to develop the format to meet the needs of students and businesses. Student volunteers are already showing enthusiasm and enthusiasm for new projects, and the Center's team is uniting to implement ambitious ideas.

On October 19, the NSUtella team, consisting of Roman Boluts, Matvey Goncharov, and Sofia Lylova, representing the Faculty of Information Technology, took part in the finals of the RuCode International Championship and took 25th place in the A/B division, becoming the competition's prize winner.

RuCode is a major all-Russian IT festival on artificial intelligence and algorithmic programming, bringing together schoolchildren, students, and professionals interested in modern technology. It is organized by the country's leading universities, technology parks, public organizations, and IT companies, with the support of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

The festival includes championships in competitive programming and artificial intelligence, educational intensives, career guidance events, master classes, and lectures. For many participants, RuCode offers an opportunity to test themselves against tough competition and gain practical experience solving challenging problems.

"I decided to participate because I knew RuCode was an interesting Olympiad. Last year, I participated as a school student," says Roman Boluts, a first-year undergraduate student at the Faculty of Information Technology at NSU.

The finals took place at NSU. The Olympiad began at 2:10 PM and lasted five hours. According to the competition rules, each team was assigned one computer, on which the participants took turns solving problems.

"The tasks varied in difficulty—from very simple ones, which almost everyone solved, to very complex ones, which only a few teams managed. This wasn't a training event, but a competition, so I didn't gain any new knowledge, but it was a good way to test my skills and preparation," Roman shares.

The results of the finals were published in championship tableFollowing their performance, the NSU team received a RuCode prize winner's diploma, cementing the university's reputation as one of the strongest participants in Russian programming competitions.

From October 23 to 26, the IT holding T1 held a hackathon for young professionals and students at Novosibirsk State University as part of the "Impulse T1" conference. Over 300 participants from across Russia, from students to aspiring developers, took part in the competition.

The event continued the series of hackathons previously held in Nizhny Novgorod and Yekaterinburg and became one of the largest platforms for the exchange of experience between students and experts from leading IT companies. The total prize fund for the entire series was 3.8 million rubles, 800,000 of which were awarded in Novosibirsk.

Participants worked on two case studies. The first involved creating a system for generating personalized backgrounds using an ML module that would run locally on the user's device without transmitting data to external servers. The second case focused on automated Git activity analysis for development teams. Automated analysis enables the timely identification of problems in development processes and inefficient resource allocation within teams.

Teams from NSU won all three prize places in the first case.

The "Pirates of the Ob Sea" team (Maxim Yemelyanov and Ulyana Zaitseva, master's students from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, and Mark Skvortsov, Alexander Shovkoplyas, and Alina Vdovichenko, graduates of the Institute of Intelligent Robotics) took first place. The team received a prize of 180,000 rubles.

"I led the team solving the case 'Digital Dress Code: A Background That Makes You Stand Out.' The task was to develop a model that segments individuals from their backgrounds in a video stream. The ML module had to be robust to low light, light interference, and similar colors, and the personalization module had to generate customized backgrounds based on templates and employee data, while adhering to contrast and privacy rules," explains Maxim Yemelyanov.

The team began their work by analyzing existing solutions and identifying factors affecting segmentation quality. They then studied open-source models, selected suitable options, improved them, and integrated them into the system. At the same time, they developed interactive elements over the video stream to clearly demonstrate the algorithm's operation.

"We didn't just aim to complete the task, but to make the solution as stable and visually understandable as possible. It was important that the model looked 'live' and responded to the user in real time. The challenge was that everything had to work locally, without cloud services, so optimization took a lot of effort," notes Maxim.

Alexander Shovkoplyas, who was part of the winning team, also shares his impressions:

"The main challenge for us was working with technologies we'd never used before—for example, running neural networks via JavaScript directly in the browser. We managed to not only create a truly high-quality solution but also convey to the hackathon experts the potential uses for it. We implemented features in the app that are useful for companies: their image is built on small details—a suitable background for video calls in line with their corporate colors, a convenient way to display employees' names and job titles on the background. This is precisely what we accomplished and expertly presented at the hackathon."

Second place in the same case was taken by the VI_KA team (Ivan Kadilenko, Maxim Unzhakov, Egor Palkin), and third place was taken by the UML team (Stavr Mariskin, Fedor Chumakin, Daniil Kolesnik, Damir Shaikhov and Yuri Malyugin).

Thus, all the prize places in the first case were taken by NSU teams, confirming the high level of students' preparation and their competitiveness in the federal arena.

The Impulse T1 hackathon became not only a competition but also a platform for students to connect with IT industry experts. Participants note that such formats provide an opportunity to apply their knowledge in practice, receive feedback from professionals, and see how ideas are transformed into real solutions.

The Novosibirsk Region boasts one of the most developed IT training ecosystems in the country. Thousands of IT specialists and engineers graduate annually from 10 universities and 14 colleges in the region. Many of them are in demand at leading Russian and international companies and become proponents of the latest technologies. This was announced by Elena Proforuk, head of the Novosibirsk Region Ministry of Digital Development, at a press briefing that kicked off the "Impulse T1" conference in Novosibirsk. The event took place on the new campus of Novosibirsk State University.

Novosibirsk has traditionally been among Russia's IT leaders. Today, the sector employs over 30,000 specialists, and approximately 3,000 IT companies are registered in the region. In 2025, the digital industry's contribution to the gross regional product reached 4%, exceeding the Russian average. In the first six months, the local IT sector contributed over 7 billion rubles to the budget, with revenue and tax revenues increasing by 20-30%.

"Our main competitive advantage is our highly qualified workforce. The region boasts a unique combination of education, science, and industry, which ensures dynamic growth in the IT sector and the digital transformation of the entire economy, as well as provides young people with opportunities to successfully find employment in their home region," said Elena Proforuk, head of the Novosibirsk Region Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media project office.

Mikhail Knigin, Executive Director of T1 Integration, noted that Novosibirsk is one of the key regions for the T1 IT holding company. "Today, we have over 500 employees in Novosibirsk, and the team has grown by 37% over the past year. This demonstrates the growing potential of the region's engineering workforce and the effectiveness of the practice-oriented approach to training specialists, which is achieved through the collaboration between educational institutions and businesses," Mikhail Knigin emphasized.

This year, NSU launched a bachelor's degree program in applied artificial intelligence: 176 students from more than 20 regions are studying not only technical disciplines and programming but also IT project management. All students are participating in the development of real-world solutions for Russian businesses. The program's anchor industry partner is the IT holding T1. As part of the program's training, the company provides students with access to its own IT solutions. In 2026, NSU will implement the Cybox platform for a full cycle of working with machine learning models, which will be used both in education and for research purposes.

"Artificial intelligence isn't a privilege for a select few, but a tool that should be taught to students from their first year. The sooner we introduce practical and project-based learning, the faster young specialists become marketable," says Alexey Okunev, Director of the NSU Institute of Intelligent Robotics.

As part of the conference, IT holding T1 also held a hackathon across two tracks: "Digital Dress Code: Creating Local ML Video Segmentation Modules and a Personalized Background Generator"; and "CodeMetrics: Developing a System for Automatically Assessing Team Performance Through Git Metrics Analysis." Over 630 students registered for the competition, with 10 teams reaching the finals. Third place in the "Digital Dress Code" track was taken by first-year students from the Institute of Intelligent Robotics, studying in the new bachelor's degree program "Applied Artificial Intelligence," supported by IT holding T1 and supervised by the Analytical Center under the Government of the Russian Federation.

A cooperation agreement was also signed between NSU and the IT holding T1 in the field of education. Key areas include improving the quality of IT education, taking into account current practical needs, and developing students' research activities in the field of AI.

The event demonstrated that Novosibirsk is becoming not only a magnet for high-tech companies, but also a true laboratory for new educational solutions, forming the foundation for Russia's digital future.
