Russia's construction industry continues to implement the roadmap for the Concept for Training Personnel for the Construction and Housing and Utilities Sectors through 2035. One of the key areas of this work is the early professionalization of future specialists. The DOM.RF Technologies Academy has completed the first cohort of a federal educational module on digital competencies for students in secondary vocational education, announced Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the DOM.RF Supervisory Board.
"The development of qualified personnel is strategically important for achieving the country's national development goals, and today we are placing particular emphasis on the digital transformation of the industry. It's important that future construction workers master modern domestic technologies and software while already in college. The first wave of digital skills training at construction colleges has been completed today, covering five regions: Krasnodar Krai, Kaliningrad and Ulyanovsk Oblasts, and the Republics of Mari El and Sakha (Yakutia). Given that the secondary vocational education system currently accounts for a significant portion of the influx of young specialists into the construction industry, such projects are intended to play a significant role in renewing the workforce and improving the quality of graduate training," said Marat Khusnullin.
The project began in September 2025 and was held at the Krasnodar Polytechnic College, the College of Construction and Professional Technologies in the Kaliningrad Region, the Yoshkar-Ola Construction College, the Yakutsk Municipal Construction College, and the Ulyanovsk College of Urban Planning and Law.
The educational module was integrated into the existing curricula and built around practical tasks. Over the course of six months, students studied digitalization tools for the construction industry, information modeling technologies, and the application of artificial intelligence. They worked with domestic software—the DOM.RF Technologies solution (Digital Construction Control) and ASCON products (Renga, Pilot-BIM)—and participated in project sessions and meetings with industry experts.
A key feature of the program was its adaptability: for each college, the module was adjusted to suit the students' specific training profile and current academic workload, which allowed for a more practical focus on the curriculum without placing additional burden on the teaching staff.
"Today, the construction industry is rapidly transforming, adopting new technological and management standards, requiring updated approaches to training even at the college level. In this context, early profiling and project-based work with modern digital tools are crucial. DOM.RF implements and supports digital educational projects aimed at developing the industry. Our priority is to train specialists who will be ready to tackle complex technological challenges, introduce innovations in housing construction, and shape a new urban environment," noted Alexey Nidens, First Deputy General Director of DOM.RF.
The project will help strengthen colleges' interactions with regional employers. Incorporating industry-specific objectives into the educational process allows for the development of a sustainable "college-business" model, whereby student training is directly tailored to the needs of construction companies.
The program is implemented for educational institutions entirely on a non-profit basis. Its geographic expansion is planned for 2026.
