Where can I learn about in-demand skills in agriculture and make useful connections? The answer to these questions lies at Agrocon Alumni, the first business forum for agricultural graduates, which took place at the end of February at RUDN University.

A platform for communication

The event brought together representatives of agribusiness, government agencies, universities, and the expert community. The forum served as a platform for discussing the industry's professional challenges and building strong relationships between young professionals and employers in the agribusiness sector. It also reaffirmed the industry's need for a networking space for agricultural graduates. Participants focused on topics such as career advancement in the agricultural sector, in-demand competencies, adapting young professionals to the challenges of production and business, and practical mechanisms for interaction between education and employers.

The event was attended by over 500 people and representatives from over 50 companies, ranging from young professionals to senior executives. The key event was a plenary discussion on opportunities and success strategies for aspiring professionals. The program included 10 business-focused sections, ranging from agribiotechnology and veterinary safety to digital solutions in the agricultural sector. Roundtable discussions and presentation sessions addressed approaches to enhancing applied training, the most effective formats for supporting young professionals, and solutions for accelerating the implementation of new practices within companies.

"Agrocon Alumni demonstrated that agricultural graduates need a working space to share experiences, find partners, and engage directly with employers. For the industry, this is a tool for strengthening human resource potential, and for young specialists, it's an entry point into the professional community for further growth," said Elvira Dovletyarova, Director of the RUDN University Institute of Agrarian Technology.

Students' impressions

"I attended Agrocon Alumni in February and would gladly go again. It's probably the best event for agricultural graduates to date, allowing them to network and engage with leading agricultural experts. The plenary session was especially memorable: it's refreshing when speakers engage in lively discussions instead of reading prepared speeches," said Mikhail Batenin, an Agronomy student at RUDN University.

"I attended the 'Dairy Industry Without Illusions' section and really enjoyed it! As someone genuinely interested in animal husbandry, this session was incredibly informative and useful. I gained a wealth of knowledge and ideas. Thank you for such a wonderful event!" — Danila Surov, Agronomy student at RUDN University.

The employer's view

The main point voiced by company representatives at the forum was that an employee's value today is measured not only by a diploma, but also by initiative, leadership qualities, and those "fiery eyes." It is these specialists who receive support in implementing innovative ideas, funding for prototyping, and access to management.

"We thank the forum organizers for the opportunity to discuss real career prospects in the agricultural sector with young people and demonstrate that the industry is open to innovation and innovative solutions. EkoNiva gives students and graduates the chance to learn firsthand about in-demand skills, be inspired by real-life case studies, and see for themselves that the agricultural industry is not just for those with diplomas, but for passionate people with bold ideas," said Alexandra Prokofieva, Head of Educational Institutions at EkoNiva-APK Holding, and expert in the session "How to Become a Valuable Young Professional in the Agricultural Sector: Skills the Market Buys."

The ecosystem's next major event will be Agrocon Expo, the largest agricultural exhibition for young people. It will take place on October 16, 2026, and will combine exhibitions with educational programs for young professionals, showcasing innovations and the industry's real potential.

This time, there were more competitors," said Nadezhda Sharavyova, Chief HR Development Specialist.

They had half an hour to complete the task, but the mentors completed it in half the time. In the second part, participants watched two clips from the cartoons "Catch a Wave" and "Kung Fu Panda." In the first, the mentor, penguin Zeke, despite making mistakes, tried to teach the main character, Cody, how to properly build a surfboard. The second mentor, Master Shifu, was reluctant to take on the panda, setting him challenges that he failed. Participants had to note all the details on their checklists: for example, whether the training location and time were chosen correctly, and what the mentor could have done that would be helpful for the student. Points were awarded for each completed competition task.

Tatyana Lebedeva, a logistics operator at SHIK, took third place in the competition. Instrumentation and automation fitter Denis Kraisman from the Central Metrology Laboratory took second place. Gleb Aleksanov, an electrician at TsRiOOK-5, won.

The awards were presented to the winners by Igor Malyasev, director of the forge plant, and Pavel Volokhov, chairman of the plant's trade union. All winners will represent their plant at the KAMAZ competition.
