The project provides training for the shipbuilding and ship repair industries
The RT-Capital RT-Capital Holding company of Rostec State Corporation participates in the pilot project of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia and Rostec on industrial postgraduate studies. The project is being implemented on the basis of the 171st separate Design and Technology Bureau and provides for the training of highly qualified personnel for the shipbuilding and ship repair industries in the Murmansk Region.
The training of the first graduate students under the program will begin in September this year at the Murmansk Arctic University. It will include theory, scientific research, practical exercises and work on real projects for ship repair and the development of new areas. The dissertation topics of the graduate students will be related to the applied tasks of industry.
"As part of the pilot project, we are building a unique ecosystem of interaction between education, science and manufacturing, which will not only preserve the experience gained over decades in the field of ship repair, but also bring Russian enterprises to a new level of international competitiveness. We plan to create a modern educational ecosystem where theory is inextricably linked with practice, and graduates get the opportunity to work on real projects during their studies," said Denis Lepeshko, CEO of Remvooruzhenie.
Today, 171 OKTB is a technology partner of the main ship repair enterprises both in Murmansk and the Navy, developing design and technological documentation for the repair, modernization and disposal of ships and ships.
The educational project, implemented with the participation of 171 OKTB, will be an important step in the development of public-private partnership in the field of science and education in the Murmansk region and will include comprehensive training for the marine industry based on the principle of continuous education — "school — university — enterprise".
"The areas of ship repair and shipbuilding are among the top 20 professions that will be in demand in the Arctic in the near future, which means they will require highly qualified personnel and will be highly paid. It is on them that we focus, including by developing our vocational education institutions and Murmansk Arctic University as part of the plan "To live in the North!"by creating a world—class educational campus, the decision to build it was made by the President of Russia," said Andrey Chibis, Governor of the Murmansk Region.
The first stage of comprehensive training for shipbuilding and ship repair will be conducted on the basis of the engineering class of Lyceum No. 7 in Murmansk. Students will be actively involved in research projects at Murmansk Arctic University, which will give them the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practice. Training under the updated program will also begin in September.
Upon graduation and upon admission to the Murmansk Arctic Institute, students will continue their studies in the second stage of the program. Starting from the fourth year, they will have the opportunity to work for the company. After completing their studies at the university, they will be able to participate in a pilot project on industrial postgraduate studies.
"Cooperation with educational institutions, scientific organizations and industrial companies will allow us not only to preserve the traditions of ship repair, but will also contribute to the development of the region's economy, significantly increase the competitiveness of domestic enterprises in the international arena, and also return the repair of domestic ships to Russia, which will be a significant contribution to strengthening the country's position in this industry," — said Anatoly Kolner, General Director of JSC 171 OKTB.
