The Youth Career Forum (YCF), organized by the SPbPU Career Development Department, took place at the Polytechnic University. It grows in scale every year. This year, representatives from 47 companies participated, including Sberbank, VK, Sovcombank, Baltika Breweries, LSR Group, Gazprom Neft, Skoltech, and others.

At the International Film Festival, students and graduates had a unique opportunity not only to communicate with representatives of major Russian and international companies about their future careers but also to gain new practical skills through business games, master classes, and discussions.

Welcoming remarks at the opening of the forum were delivered by Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at SPbPU; Irina Nikulina, Head of University Relations and Talent Acquisition at Nexign; Natalya Borisova, Head of the University Relations Department at the Petersburg Tractor Plant; and Elvira Tuktamysheva, Head of the Employment Support Sector at SPbPU.

Over the years, the career forum has proven its effectiveness and efficiency. It's a great opportunity for students to explore various options, as all doors are now open to them; they should not be afraid to try. And employers here at Polytechnic University can easily find young professionals, noted Lyudmila Pankova.

Company representatives eagerly shared with students the specifics of their work, internship requirements, and internship opportunities. Forum participants were able to immediately sign up for interviews for positions of interest. Employers at the IFF also organized interactive activities: they offered tests, logic puzzles, quizzes with prizes, and treated everyone to ice cream, coffee, and chocolates.

For the first time, EVM participated in the Polytechnic University's Youth Career Forum. The young company is developing electric vehicles.

"Our company often participates in career forums, but today is our first time at the Polytechnic University. Working with students is a very valuable resource for us. We conduct tours and organize internships and internships. We're building an electrical engineering community, providing opportunities to gain experience and implement innovative ideas," noted Natalia Pivovarova, Recruitment Manager at EVM Electric Vehicles.

This isn't our company's first time at the career forum at the Polytechnic University, and we really enjoy it. There are a lot of students who are genuinely interested in choosing an internship and employment opportunities. And everyone not only visits and explores the exhibits but also attends various lectures and workshops," commented Gennady Lukashevsky, Communications and Employer Brand Development Manager for ITMS Group, on their participation in the forum.

The International Film Festival (IFF) also features a comprehensive program of business activities, including expert lectures, master classes, training sessions, and business games. The expertise shared by expert employer representatives is unique, based exclusively on real-life company cases. Through these activities, students can not only learn about the skills highly valued by employers in young professionals but also acquire them immediately, without leaving the Polytechnic University.

All business activities were divided into two tracks: "Career" and "Skills." This included master classes and CareerTalks. At these career events, students learned how to effectively present themselves, ace interviews, and build a successful career.

The key event was "Sobeseding," where participants had the unique opportunity to test their skills in express interviews. This allowed them to understand their strengths and weaknesses, overcome their fear of self-presentation, and improve their business communication skills. Students from technical fields and companies had just five minutes to effectively present themselves to each of five employers (Avtozavod Saint Petersburg, Arman, Power Machines, Dipol Group, and EVM).

All the students really enjoyed the forum's events; everyone was able to learn something new and find internship opportunities and future employment opportunities.

The forum also featured an awards ceremony for students who won the Alfa-Bank scholarship competition. Forty-six Polytechnic students were named winners. The best students were chosen for their academic and extracurricular achievements, active participation in Olympiads, competitions, hackathons, and conferences, as well as for their unique scientific research.

Dmitry Podolsky, Vice President of Government Relations at Alfa-Bank, emphasized: "This program isn't just financial support; it's an investment in students' projects, their knowledge, and their skills. It's an investment in their future, a desire to go beyond stereotypes, and sometimes beyond their capabilities."

Students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University spent a vibrant and inspiring weekend at the Kholomki estate. Thirty-four students embarked on their autumn retreat under the guidance of two SuperKultorgs, who created an atmosphere of warmth, comfort, and creativity for all participants.

The theme of the session—"in HOLO style"—combined the idea of self-discovery and experimentation with autumn style. It's a time when you want to wrap yourself in your favorite sweater and discover what it says about your personality. Participants explored not only their own style but also their inner world, exploring new roles, images, and ideas.

Over the course of three days, students participated in a variety of interactive events and creative activities. They answered quizzes, learned about artists' stories during an immersive quest, and tried their hand at a knitting workshop. In the evenings, cozy get-togethers and time for genuine conversation awaited everyone. Despite the chilly November weather, the atmosphere was truly warm and friendly.

The autumn break resulted in new acquaintances and memories. For the students, the break was more than just a weekend away, but a true space for personal growth and inspiration.

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is launching a new phase of its collaboration with the city's municipal government—the "Open Municipality" project, aimed at organizing practical internships for faculty members in local government bodies. Its key feature is a fundamentally new approach to internships: the interns are university faculty members, not students. This format, launched for the first time, is designed not simply to train participants but to provide faculty with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the work processes of local government bodies, explore local management practices, and integrate their experience into the educational process.

Representatives of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg—Chairman Vsevolod Belikov, Executive Director Mikhail Novikov, and Deputy Executive Director Yulia Slav—joined the SPbPU team to discuss the project's concept, content, and implementation mechanisms.

Thirteen leading faculty members from the Graduate School of Public Administration at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University also participated in the working meeting and discussion of the "Open Municipality" internship project.

Participants discussed issues related to the development of local self-government in the context of federal reform, including changes related to Federal Law No. 33-FZ of March 20, 2025, "On the General Principles of Organizing Local Self-Government in a Unified System of Public Authority," prospects for municipal reorganization, the distribution of powers, possible optimization mechanisms, and the participation of municipal authorities in the integrated development of territories.

Particular emphasis was placed on the need to maintain a people-centered approach to municipal governance. Experts emphasized that during the optimization process, it is crucial to maintain contact with residents—a key factor in the trust and effectiveness of local government.

This project is important not only as an internship, but also as a new format of collaboration—when municipalities and the university become partners in developing modern management solutions. We see the Polytechnic University as a reliable ally in training personnel and fostering expert discussion. Such initiatives should become regular—we are ready to share best practices, listen to proposals, and work together to shape a new school of municipal governance for St. Petersburg," noted Vsevolod Belikov.

The project's key audience is faculty members of the "Public and Municipal Administration" program at the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade at SPbPU.

Today, universities can't limit themselves to the classical education model—it's important for us to be involved in real-life management processes, to see how decisions are made, and to transform this knowledge into educational programs. The "Open Municipality" project is a shining example of how academia and government bodies are creating a unified space for the exchange of expertise. We are confident that a teacher with a deep understanding of practice prepares specialists of a fundamentally new caliber, capable of responding to the challenges of the times and the demands of society," shared Vice Rector for Academic Affairs Lyudmila Pankova.

The goal is to bring the educational process closer to real municipal practice, develop the professional competencies of faculty, narrow the gap between theory and management reality, and facilitate the formation of a personnel reserve for municipalities.

The project will allow:

Integrate real-world management challenges into the educational process; strengthen the practice-oriented nature of the training of future managers; establish regular exchange of competencies between the university and local government bodies; and develop project-based work and modern formats for faculty-student interaction.

The internship covers key areas of local government activity and includes both lectures and on-site practical modules in municipalities across St. Petersburg.

During the internship, participants will become familiar with key areas of municipal work. The program will cover the legal, organizational, and financial foundations of municipal operations, modern analytical and digital approaches to local government, mechanisms for interagency cooperation, and practices for handling citizen complaints.

Special attention will be paid to studying best municipal practices, including issues of integrated territorial development, urban improvement, as well as military-patriotic education, sports, and leisure activities as part of social policy at the local level.

The program combines expert presentations, discussions, and practice-oriented formats, allowing participants to immerse themselves in real-life management processes and best municipal practices in St. Petersburg.

Thus, at the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, Vsevolod Belikov, Chairman of the Legislation Committee of the Legislative Assembly and Chairman of the Council of Municipalities of St. Petersburg, will give an introductory lecture on local government development trends.

The Liteiny Okrug municipality will host a lecture and discussion featuring Pavel Daynyak, which will examine the legal, organizational, and financial foundations of municipal activities.

Igor Pyzhik will lead the module at the Akademicheskoe Municipal District. Participants will explore municipal information and analytical tools, interagency cooperation mechanisms, and participate in a discussion of resident engagement practices.

During a field trip to the Finnish District municipality, led by Alexandra Kirpichnikova, teachers will learn about municipal best practices and best practices in landscaping.

The Vasilievsky Municipal District will host a module led by Dmitry Ivanov, dedicated to the organization of military-patriotic work, the development of sports, and leisure as important areas of municipal policy.

In December, the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade will host a final discussion session in a "world café" format, featuring municipal representatives and Polytechnic faculty. Participants will jointly develop practice-oriented solutions for territorial development. A key outcome of the program will be the development of teaching materials that will be integrated into faculty curricula, strengthening the practice-oriented nature of the training of future specialists in public and municipal administration.

The "Open Municipality" project is more than just an internship; it's a bridge between university expertise and the real-world practice of municipal governance. For faculty, it's an opportunity to strengthen their competencies, for students, to gain mentors who understand real-world challenges, and for the city, to develop a new generation of managers. Projects like these move the system forward, and Polytechnic University is ready to lead these changes. "Only forward!" emphasized Maxim Ivanov, IPMEiT Deputy Director for Promising Projects and Youth Policy.

The project received the support of Alexander Belsky, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, who noted the initiative's importance for developing expert dialogue and teamwork aimed at addressing urban development challenges. The "Open Municipality" project marks a new stage in the strategic partnership between the university and the city government, cementing the Polytechnic University's role as a center for management training, a methodological leader, and a key player in shaping modern municipal human resources policy in St. Petersburg.

The White Hall is unrecognizable today. Instead of the usual academic rigor, there's a sea of emotion, camera flashes, and the roar of enthusiastic voices. A true sporting celebration reigns at the Polytechnic: heroes are being honored who have accomplished what yesterday seemed almost impossible.

November 12 will forever be remembered in the history of Russian student hockey. It was on this day The Black Bears-Polytech hockey team won the Student Hockey League Super Cup for the first time in history.Three matches into a tense series, and here they are at the top: Polytechnic students defeated the reigning champions, proving their rightful place as the strongest.

The hall gradually fills. The players appear, reserved but with barely concealed pride in their eyes. Behind them are the coaching staff, the manager, and the press officer. And then the guests of honor:

Rector of the Polytechnic University, Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy; Head Coach of the Black Bears, Coach of the Dynamo Saint Petersburg Ice Sports Academy Roman Mikhalchenko; Three-time USSR Champion, World Champion among youth teams as part of the USSR national team, former head coach of the team Mikhail Panin; Head of the Sports Department of the Committee for Physical Culture and Sports of St. Petersburg Evgeniya Gruk; Director of the Institute of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism of SPbPU, Chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Student Sports Union of Russia Valery Sushchenko.

During the celebration, a replay of the fourth period of that very match is played on stage. The hall seems to transform into a grandstand—it seems like the spectators are about to start chanting, "Puck-boo! Puck-boo!" A sparkling performance by the team's cheerleaders adds to the excitement. Lively rhythms, vibrant costumes, and dynamic routines electrify the atmosphere, and even the most reserved guests can't sit still: some are dancing, others are clapping along to the rhythm.

And now comes the climax. Andrei Rudskoy and Valeri Sushchenko take the stage. In Andrei Ivanovich's hands is the very trophy for which the team had fought through fire and water: the SHL Russian Super Cup. He lifts it above his head along with team captain Alexander Butorin. One by one, the players take to the microphones and receive their university awards. The audience erupts in applause that seems never-ending.

These moments are more than just a ceremony. They are a symbol of unity, will, and faith in victory. This is the story that the Black Bears of Polytech wrote with their hockey sticks, their talent, and their indomitable spirit. And now it will become part of the Polytech legend—a legend that is only just beginning.
