RTU MIREA introduced a new training model
02.03.2020
MIREA - Russian Technological University has developed an approach allowing companies and industrial enterprises to retain specialists-graduates of the university with the competencies most necessary for the employers. At the same time, the University plans to attract the most interested applicants to the work in the industry, and the applicants before entering the University will be able to understand exactly what they wish to do in future.
The new personnel training model was offered on February 27 at the Altair Children's Technopark, which operates on the basis of RTU MIREA. The meeting was attended by industrial partners of the Technopark who supported the new model and signed cooperation agreements; also, more than 50 partner enterprises of RTU MIREA working on contract-based targeted training took part in the event.
The essence of the approach proposed by RTU MIREA is to begin targeted training not at the stage of higher education, as it was done before, but to do that starting from high school. This will allow future applicants to profoundly understand profile specialties and make an informed choice in favor of the future profession, while partner enterprises at this early stage will be able to select the best candidates who have proven their worth in the training process and will fit subsequent employment. Thus, the University will train personnel in the interests of industrial partners who will be working now on with specialists who are fully prepared for work, not the university graduates in need of retraining.
School-children will be trained under the proposed model on the basis of the Altair RTU MIREA Children's Technology Park which was opened in August 2019 with the support of the Moscow Government. Here, in specially equipped laboratories, children get training in three areas: Information Technologies, Chemical and Biomedical Technologies and Radio-electronics.
“The training model proposed by RTU MIREA is fully consistent with the general philosophy of children's technology parks operating in Moscow – with the training of the future personnel for industrial partners starting as early as high school. The main goal of creating a network of children's technology parks is to get schoolchildren closely familiarized with their future profession while working jointly with the industrial partners, and to create an opportunity for concluding a pending labor contract for successful trainees of children's techno parks,”says Alexey Fursin, head of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Development.
The University pays considerable attention to the career guidance of students and offers a lot of opportunities for children to get free education. The Altair RTU MIREA Children's Technopark is a modern infrastructure where senior students can absolutely free of charge master the competencies needed in the labor market. To expand the work in the field of career guidance for young people on behalf of S.S. Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow, in 2021 it is planned to launch the House of Engineering Sciences, a new project for children of all ages.
RTU MIREA model also corresponds to the approach regarding the distribution of admission control figures introduced by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. The allocation of budgetary places to the University is linked to contract-based training in the interests of specific industrial partners and to the proportion of job places for graduates in the specialty. Hence, the universities are interested in motivated students who will continue working in the industry, and early career guidance contributes to the training process in conformity with the new model proposed by RTU MIREA.
Formats of interaction with industrial partners may vary considerably:
- career guidance courses for students trained in a specialized field (with full immersion) which are created at the request of industrial partners;
- a wide range of jointly developed short-term career guidance programs: popular science lectures, master classes, field trips, etc.;
- installation and use of the partner enterprise equipment for the implementation of training programs for schoolchildren on the basis of the Altair Children's Technopark;
- conducting joint events: Olympiads, competitions, conferences, hackathons and much more.
The most important thing that RTU MIREA is ready to offer is not just to select motivated children, but also to develop a separate specialized training program (profile) or curriculum for them according to which the student will receive the knowledge and skills necessary for a particular customer company.
A number of companies have already backed the idea of the University - such companies as Yandex, Samsung Electronics, Rostelecom-Solar, National Instruments, Rohde & Schwarz, Generium and others have acted as partners in the children's technology park. Moreover, in the course of the past meeting, cooperation agreements were signed between RTU MIREA and Mail.ru Group, and Dow Chemical Company. “The key task of RTU MIREA is to train quality personnel in the interests of enterprises. We are the first University that offers industrial partners a structured model for the selection of motivated children,” said RTU MIREA Rector Stanislav Alekseevich Kudzh, informing the public about the new model and meeting held.
