Eighth issue video digest "Polytech as a Priority" is dedicated to enhancing the university's international competitiveness.

The host of the graduation ceremony, Dmitry Arsenyev, SPbPU Vice-Rector for International Affairs, emphasized that Polytechnic University is currently focusing not only on attracting international students (the university is one of the leaders in Russia in terms of student numbers), but also on increasing the number of talented young specialists in engineering fields. The Vice-Rector described the mechanisms being used to achieve this, including holding Polytechnic Education Days in friendly countries, creating joint educational programs, and joint institutes with leading partners.

"For me, technological leadership is a very tangible concept," says Dmitry Arsenyev. "It's when, while traveling abroad, we see Russian cars driving on the streets, Russian software running on computers, Russian companies serving as key contractors on infrastructure projects, Russian scientists leading speakers at major global scientific conferences, and no major international project can be implemented without Russian specialists. And international students prioritize Russian universities for their engineering education, and many of them want to stay and build their careers in Russia's high-tech economy."

Video overviews from the Office of Technological Leadership at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University introduce viewers to the university's key achievements and promising developments as part of the "Priority 2030" strategic project. These materials aim to clearly explain the program's concept, present innovative projects receiving grant support, and demonstrate how ideas are transformed into practical solutions. Each episode contains up-to-date information on the university's scientific and technical initiatives and helps trace their development from concept to implementation.

Bogdan Pismarkin, Aigul Orazdurdyeva, and Daniil Koldyshev, graduates of the Construction Management Department's Class of 2025, proved that a final thesis can be more than just a stop, but the beginning of a long journey. They presented their thesis in the "Startup as a Thesis" format, not limiting themselves to the university walls: they also presented their initiatives to the Leningrad Region Construction Committee. There, the graduates, accompanied by Roman Motylev, Head of the Construction Management Department at SPbGASU, presented their project to Vitaly Lazutkin, Chairman of the Committee, and had the opportunity to explore their idea in the context of real-world challenges facing the industry.

The VseRuki.Pro graduate project – a service for analyzing, searching, and planning labor resources in construction – is a mobile app that allows you to create orders, find contractors with verified documents, monitor the legality of employees' presence in Russia, and assign them to projects in the event of downtime.

At the meeting, graduates heard about the challenges government officials face when implementing public construction projects. The issue of labor resources is particularly pressing. During the discussion, Vitaly Lazutkin proposed developing the project into a government service capable of quickly addressing issues of labor force organization and distribution, as well as monitoring migrant workers and their work locations.

In the future, graduates may establish contacts with various committees involved in the regional construction industry. This opens up new opportunities for developing their initiatives and demonstrates that university projects can extend beyond the classroom and find practical application at the regional level.

On October 2, in Moscow, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin met with winners and runners-up of national professional skills championships, the "Master of the Year" competition, and students and directors of leading clusters of the federal "Professionalism" project. Among those attending the meeting with the Prime Minister was Violetta Molodtsova, a student in the IT department at the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

Mikhail Mishustin emphasized that college graduates receive an excellent education, essential for the country. This, he said, enables young people to develop, create a shield for Russia—both industrial and economic—and help achieve national development goals. Independent experts, according to Mikhail Mishustin, highly rate college graduates' professional readiness. Over 80% find employment in high-paying positions at large companies.

During the meeting, employees and students—winners and runners-up of professional competitions—had the opportunity to ask Mikhail Mishustin questions related to the development of secondary vocational education in the country. Below is an excerpt from the conversation between the Russian Prime Minister and Polytechnic University student Violetta Molodtsova.

Violetta Molodtsova: Good afternoon! I am Violetta Sergeevna Molodtsova, a fourth-year student at the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. I took second place this year. in the "Design and manufacture of prostheses and orthoses" competency at the "Professionals" championship.

This skill isn't my core competency, as I'm studying Information Systems and Programming. I gained quite a few of the skills and abilities I needed to place high in the finals through college, but through extracurricular activities. I'm very grateful to the college for this opportunity. It exposed me to a very important and socially beneficial skill that's actively developing in our region, something I hadn't even considered before. Now I'm considering this specialty as a potential career path and am looking for an internship related to prosthetics.

I'm also very grateful for the championship and glad to have the opportunity to test my knowledge and skills at such a large-scale event. It's a powerful test of stress tolerance, the ability to follow a task, and skills in general. Also, thanks to the introduction of a team module at the competition this year, I was able to work as a team. It was an interesting and unusual experience, because usually in college we complete assignments alone.

I would also like to now give the floor to my fellow countryman Taras, who took part in a similar championship.

Mikhail Mishustin: Thank you, guys, Violetta and Taras. I'm listening—you're so well prepared, speaking professionally about your skills and your ideas. Violetta, it's wonderful that you've gotten so excited and found a direction that will lead you to new professional skills. I'll even ask Sergey Sergeyevich (Kravtsov) to help. You mentioned prosthetics; I know of several wonderful projects in the country. We'll definitely keep you informed. And if you allow, we'll give you your contact information so we can contact you. Because there's a lot of significant development going on right now, both in approaches and technologies. I was told about 3D modeling, 3D printers, and a lot more. Overall, it's quite complex, innovative, but very important and significant for the country.

After meeting with the Prime Minister, Violetta Molodtsova shared her emotions: "This was my first event at such a high level. It was certainly nerve-wracking, but incredibly rewarding! We discussed the secondary vocational education system, and I, in particular, spoke about my participation in the "Professionals" competition. Now I have an even better understanding of the prospects our secondary vocational education system offers. And I'm inspired to further develop my profession and perhaps return to the competition one day as a mentor."

The secondary vocational education (SVE) system is the country's largest educational infrastructure, comprising 3,200 vocational educational institutions and 376 higher education institutions implementing SVE programs. In 2025, the system will celebrate its 85th anniversary.

Secondary vocational education plays a strategic role in the country's development, developing human resources for industry, technology, and social infrastructure. The system employs 199,474 teaching staff, including 147,303 teachers and 18,779 vocational training instructors. In the 2025/2026 academic year, 1.2 million students were enrolled in secondary vocational education programs.

Roman Baibikov, Director of the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education at SPbPU, commented on the results of the Moscow meeting: "Violetta's participation in such a meeting is undoubtedly a well-deserved result of her hard work over the past year. I would like to express special gratitude to Violetta's mentors, teacher Daria Vasilyevna Ivanova, and student Daria Bolotnova. This team's coordinated work earned them a silver medal at the "Professionals" championship finals. Every year, the number of competencies in which our students participate in the "Professionals" championship increases; this year there are 64. Violetta's trip to Moscow was a wonderful gift to our entire college staff for Secondary Vocational Education Day. I congratulate my colleagues and students on this holiday and wish everyone professional growth and the achievement of new heights!"

The exhibition "Victory. 1945–2025," prepared by the SPbPU History Museum for the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, has opened at the Grand Canyon shopping and entertainment center.

Today's exhibition marks a new step in our partnership with the Polytechnic University. We signed a cooperation agreement at the beginning of the year. The first groups of students have already completed internships at the Grand Canyon. The exhibition, dedicated to the Polytechnic students' heroism, aims to educate future generations of St. Petersburg residents. "This is our shared contribution to preserving historical memory," said Andrey Atamas, manager of the Grand Canyon shopping center, at the opening ceremony.

Artem Solovyov, a leading specialist at the SPbPU History Museum, emphasized that holding the exhibition in this format will allow residents and visitors to the city to become more familiar with the Polytechnicians' contribution to the Victory and learn new facts about their lives and scientific discoveries.

The exhibition recounts the exploits of the staff and students of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, their contribution to the USSR's defense efforts, and the development of the "Weapons of Victory." Among the institute's graduates are the outstanding designers Mikhail Koshkin, Nikolai Dukhov, Nikolai Polikarpov, Boris Malinin, and many others. Under their leadership, weapons, aviation, and transport were developed that brought Victory Day closer.

From the first days of the war, approximately five thousand Polytechnic students and staff went to the front, joining the people's militia and partisan units, while the institute's laboratories fulfilled orders for the army and the home front. The exhibition displays reflect these stories, the labor and military exploits of the Polytechnic students, whose work became part of the Great Victory.

The exhibition is open to all visitors to the Grand Canyon Shopping Center and serves as another reminder of the price of this heroic act that united the destinies of millions of people. Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared 2025 the Year of Defender of the Fatherland in honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory Day and as a sign of respect for those who participated in the special military operation.
