Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University was visited by a group of veterans of the special military operation, undergoing rehabilitation and mastering new professions at the State Autonomous Non-Standard Professional Educational Institution of the Leningrad Region "Multi-Center for Social and Labor Integration".
The visit was organized by the Directorate of Continuing Education and Industry Partnership of SPbPU together with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport for the social and labor integration of veterans of the SVO, the development of partnership and the formation of a system of continuous education aimed at solving the problems of technological leadership of the country. This work is carried out by the university, including within the framework of the federal program "Priority-2030" at the expense of internal resources allocated for the implementation of the projects "Development and implementation of additional professional education programs for participants and veterans of the SVO taking into account the regional needs of the economy" and "Organization of a system of professional counseling and individual educational trajectories for veterans of the SVO, as well as training teachers and mentors to work with the target audience."
Already during the pilot implementation, IMMiT teachers will take part in training veterans of the SVO according to an adapted advanced training program based at the Multicenter.
The guests got acquainted with the laboratories, educational and production complexes and engineering sites. The prospects for launching adapted educational programs, forming a mentoring system and professional consulting were discussed. The visit was a continuation of the university's systematic work on creating applied programs for target categories of students.
The visit also acquired special significance in the context of preparations for the conclusion of a strategic partnership agreement between Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the Multicenter for Social and Labor Integration. The document has been developed and agreed upon by the parties and will be signed in the near future. The agreement will form the basis for systematic joint work. Work is already underway to create a joint educational space on the basis of the Multicenter for the implementation of training programs in the management and maintenance of numerically controlled machines.
The Polytechnic University consistently develops areas related to the training and retraining of participants and veterans of the SVO, including the launch of new programs for advanced training and professional retraining focused on the real needs of regional economies. One of the key partners in this process is the Multicenter, an institution that applies comprehensive approaches to labor rehabilitation and social support. The Multicenter provides professional training, giving veterans of the SVO the opportunity to obtain applied technical competencies and master a new profession, and the Polytechnic offers paths for further development – completing programs of secondary vocational and higher education, advanced training and professional retraining.
Such interaction between the Multicenter and SPbPU is especially significant in the field of engineering education: it allows for the development of end-to-end training trajectories – from mastering blue-collar jobs to obtaining engineering qualifications, which corresponds to the tasks of the country’s technological development.
The meeting discussed mechanisms for long-term cooperation: launching adapted programs, organizing mentoring, training teachers and tutors to work with the target audience.
Deputy Director for Educational and Industrial Work at the Multicenter for Social and Labor Integration Ekaterina Stepanova emphasized: We are grateful to the Polytechnic University for its high level of openness and attention to those who are returning to civilian life. The University demonstrates not only technological readiness, but also humanitarian involvement, which makes our partnership truly valuable. We share a systemic approach, which creates not individual courses, but an entire adapted educational space that meets the capabilities of specific people and the needs of the economy.
Cooperation with the Multicenter allows us to build practice-oriented trajectories – from professional consulting to qualification training. The first courses, developed specifically taking into account the conditions of returning to peaceful professional activity, will start in the near future. We see that the demand for such programs will only grow, especially in the context of technological leadership tasks. The enormous practical experience that the Multicenter has accumulated over the years of its activity is certainly very important and valuable for the Polytechnic University – both in methodological and organizational terms, – noted Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU.
The participants of the visit – students of the Multicenter, undergoing training in a number of in-demand technical areas – highly appreciated the educational and technological base of the Polytechnic University, showed a keen interest in the engineering infrastructure of the university and the possibilities of further education.
One of the participants of the visit noted: Everything is thought out to the smallest detail: modern equipment and an attentive approach to students. It is especially valuable that here they do not just meet, but teach in-demand professions that are important for the country. We came not just to look, but for the opportunity to develop in the profession and build our future.
The visit of the representatives of the Multicenter and veterans of the SVO became an important stage in the development of an integrated model of interaction – from social support and mentoring to engineering training and employment in industrial enterprises.
