March 26, 2024 – A panel session on the topic “Educational partnership as the basis of a new technological order” as part of the business program of the ATOMEXPO-2024 international forum was held.
Experts in the field of education from Russia, South Africa, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Belarus discussed the formation of a community of companies and educational institutions implementing unique training programs for engineering and technological projects. Rosatom representatives shared their experience in training workers and engineers within the framework of the Federal Project “Professionalism”. They as well introduced a unique model of the AtomSkills professional skills championship and immersive oculography technology to assess expertise in order to ensure zero occupational injuries.
Alexey Ponomarenko, Deputy General Director – Director of the Engineering Competence Department of Rosatom Corporate Academy: “The struggle for talents leads to high costs and reduces the efficiency of technology companies. The existing problems of labor markets are of a general nature and can only be solved through business partnerships with educational organizations. An urgent challenge is to ensure continuous training in colleges and universities with parallel updating of knowledge and skills of current employees. During the meeting we exchanged experiences and outlined the next steps for the joint implementation of educational and scientific and technological projects.”
