The President supported the idea of developing the university career event

The Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that 90% of Ural Federal University graduates who find a job within a year of graduation is a high figure. In addition, a good indicator is the fact that 80% of them are employed in their degree field.

Career tracks were discussed at a meeting of the President with UrFU students on Tusday. Head of UrFU Students Union Oybek Partov proposed to hold an all-Russian event Career Night and expressed the willingness to act as its organising team.

According to Mr. Partov, hundreds of thousands of Russian students will be able to communicate directly with employers, find internships, attend master classes and trainings.

«Today, gaining practical skills is an immensely important objective not only for graduates, but for students of junior years as well, — says Oybek. — The sooner you come the Career Night, the more chances you have of becoming a top manager in a big Russian or international company».

The President reiterated that such an event will form a foundation for future development and professional advancement, and it is worth paying attention to it.

Recently it has been reported that the university project Career Night is going to receive endorsement of the All-Russian Competition of Youth Projects by Rosmolodezh. A grant of 1 million rubles was won by the project Your Business. At the career event there will be a separate track to present not only employment opportunities, but also business ones.  

The next Career Night is going to take place in the early November 2019. The last event held in 2018 gathered 10 thousand students and graduates of Ural universities.
