Many students of Moscow colleges find employment at major enterprises while still studying, and employers are eager to hire young specialists. The fact is that in the capital's secondary specialized educational institutions, students receive real practical skills from the first year, having mastered which anyone can begin to move up the career ladder.

"We try to make the educational programs of Moscow colleges as practice-oriented as possible, tailored to current market demands. Today, the majority of available vacancies in Moscow are aimed specifically at specialists with secondary vocational education. Already now, two-thirds of students receive job offers while still studying, and 95 percent find employment in the first year after graduating from college," she said.

Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

A photo exhibition is dedicated to such successful young people "Colleges of Moscow. Success is guaranteed!" on Chistoprudny and Tverskoy Boulevards. A mos.ru correspondent talked to some of the heroes of the project and found out how to find a promising job in your youth, what skills you need to have for this, and where the future graduates plan to go next.

Engineer of the Future

Konstantin Nadeev is a third-year student Moscow College of Business Technologies in the specialty of "operation of unmanned aircraft systems." He still has a year left before graduation, and he has been officially employed for several years. He currently works in a design bureau, consults on projects, and teaches schoolchildren and students.

“I have been interested in modeling and robotics since I was 10. In the seventh grade, I received the third category in unmanned systems in a drone race, and after the ninth grade, I entered college. At that time, I had already participated in various drone projects. These aircraft will soon be needed in almost any production, for example, to monitor oil rigs, determine the accuracy of laying railway tracks. The devices can be controlled by artificial intelligence. Now I am engaged in programming, metalworking, and assembly, I design drones from scratch. I consider myself an accomplished specialist, and college helps to find new connections in the professional environment, gives the opportunity to test and improve skills. For example, I can participate in championships, and also lead a champion's circle at my educational institution. And a diploma is needed. Then I will go to university and improve my robotics,” says Konstantin Nadeev.

The technology sector is one of the most in-demand. Many Moscow companies are happy to invite students who gain knowledge in this area to work. To make it comfortable for them to combine professional activity with study, employers often offer a hybrid schedule: a couple of days at the plant, the rest – remotely. In addition, young employees are asked how many hours they are ready to work, and they adjust to them.

Start a career in medicine

Pavel Bobrov just finished his second year Medical College No. 5, where he entered after the 11th grade. He has been working in the sanitary and transport service for a year now. City Clinical Hospital No. 1 named after N.I. Pirogov.

"I became interested in medicine as a child, dreaming of becoming a doctor. But in this field it is better to advance gradually, there is no need to rush, so first I went to college to study to become a paramedic. Here I understood in which field I would have to develop, I was convinced that I had chosen the right direction, and I got my first experience. Now I can discuss medical history and diagnoses with professional doctors – we speak the same language," notes Pavel Bobrov.

The young man received an invitation to work when he was finishing his first year at college. It involves transporting patients between departments. When a shift begins, Pavel Bobrov receives a message from the dispatcher about the patient's condition, weight, and mobility. This way, the employee understands what task he faces. He needs to react quickly, because often a person needs to be urgently taken to the operating room.

"At this stage, this is good practice for me. After graduating from college, in a year, I plan to get accredited as a paramedic to work in an ambulance. Then I plan to go to university to become either an anesthesiologist-resuscitator or a plastic surgeon. Of course, if I choose the second specialty, I will have to study for a long time – the residency alone will take five years, the profession is difficult," says Pavel Bobrov.

From welders to managers

In June 2025, Vladislav Zonin graduated from the urban development educational complex after three years of study. "Capital", and got a job as a welder at the Moscow Machine-Building Plant "Avangard" in the winter.

"At school, I didn't think about what profession to choose. A friend suggested that after the ninth grade I study to become a welder, since it was a promising specialty. I tried it and it worked. In my third year, I was sent to an industrial practice at a plant, the manager appreciated my abilities and hired me. I work five days a week. At first, it was difficult to combine it with my studies, but then I switched to an individual curriculum at college and eventually graduated successfully," says Vladislav Zonin.

A young specialist works in the repair shop. "We are the plant's ambulance: if something breaks, we go and fix it. The rest of the time, we make parts – the tasks are always different, so there is no time to get bored," says Vladislav Zonin. He likes the welding process itself, when disparate parts are made into a single whole. And he does it all with his own hands.

Vladislav Zonin admits: of course, training on machines in welding workshops and a real enterprise are not the same thing. In the workshop, the level of responsibility is higher, you can't make mistakes. "I was very lucky with my colleagues, they supported me, helped me, and gave me advice. Now I feel confident," says our interlocutor.

Now Vladislav Zonin is planning to enroll in a university and advance in the management field, although he had not made such plans before. He will study by correspondence so as not to leave production. "It was here, at work, that I realized that I could climb the career ladder to the head of a department or even a plant director," says the college graduate.

The first floor will be decorated with graphite-colored concrete tiles, partially using volumetric masonry, and the height of the residential sections will be visually reduced with the help of white horizontal belts on the building. The architectural appearance will be complemented by perforated baskets for air conditioners.

The most difficult stage is the installation of temporary metal structures for repairing sidewalks without restricting navigation. Some work was carried out directly from the water using barges and pontoons.

Then the bridge's stairways were restored to their historical appearance, and the road surface and lighting system elements were updated.

During the reconstruction, advanced technologies were used. For example, remotely controlled robots replaced workers and manual jackhammers, and also helped to perform tasks in hard-to-reach places. This increased productivity and safety of work.

In addition, new building materials were used. For example, solutions were used that harden in less than seven hours, high-quality steel with increased resistance to external influences and corrosion, and much more.

Thanks to the reconstruction, the bridge will be able to serve for many more years.
