REW Youth Day: roundtable will discuss students’ career prospects in fuel and energy companies

The REW Youth Day is developing as a platform for shaping the youth policy of the fuel and energy sector.  During the discussions, the heads of the relevant ministries, company experts and young professionals annually discuss topics relevant to the industry and young people, and the proposals and ideas put forward are taken into account when forming the key agenda for the next year.

The traditional roundtable with employers and young people will be dedicated to the theme ‘A Student and Their First Job in the Fuel and Energy Complex’. The moderators of the meeting – Anastasia Bondarenko, State Secretary and Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia, and Artem Korolev, Director of the Reliable Change Foundation – will be joined by experts to discuss the work of companies with universities and students and school graduates. They will also focus on the practices of selecting and attracting engineering students to companies in the real sector of the economy.

Leading specialists from RusHydro, YATEK, System Operator of the Unified Energy System, Raspadskaya Coal Company, ROSSETI and T Plus have been invited to participate in the roundtable discussion.

The event will review the results of the research conducted by the Organizing Committee of the CASE-IN championship.

Specialists conducted a survey among representatives of fuel and energy complex companies and students of industry-specific universities and learnt how industry employers and graduates of industry-specific universities interact with each other.

“The topics we will cover – career trajectories of graduates, employment prospects and the involvement of universities and companies in these processes – are of key importance for the training of future specialists, the development of industry-employed youth and the formation of a talent pool of companies. The opinions we will hear will help determine the further vector of development and form new formats of work between employers and students,” Artem Korolev shared his expectations from the meeting.

The Russian Energy Week International Forum is a key global platform for discussing current trends in the development of the modern fuel and energy sector. This event is traditionally held at the highest level, featuring the participation of leaders from the largest companies in the energy industry.
