Students of the bachelor’s programme “International Economics and Business” develop their professional skills

Partner companies of the project pool held master classes for students of the educational program "International Economics and Business". Representatives of Business Solutions and Technologies (formerly Deloitte in the CIS) conducted a master class on developing business writing skills for the first-year students of the program. Elena Sibagatova, Leading Expert of the Department of Audit Services, talked about the peculiarities of the structure and design of the letter, as well as the rules for observing etiquette in business correspondence. Under the guidance of a lecturer, students analyzed the most common mistakes using real examples and practiced writing their first business letters. Business Solutions and Technologies recruitment specialist Nonna Goreva introduced the students to the structure of the company and the features of building a career in it.

Here are the impressions left by Nonna Goreva about the master class:

“Every day we interact with a huge number of people: colleagues, friends, clients, business partners, etc. That is why we should be able to competently build written communication - which is what we wanted to teach the guys in the "Introduction to the specialty" course. Students actively participated in discussions and practical tasks. It was very interesting to get acquainted with future young specialists, to learn about their interests.”

Evgeny Shashkov, Director of the Partner Business Department at Sinara Bank, discussed with the students the formation of a client profile, methods of building relationships with clients and the main metrics for measuring client experience and business performance. Students actively asked the speaker their questions.

“It’s hard for me to say how similar meetings are held, since for me it was the first such experience at UrFU. But when I try to find words to describe what it was to me, adjectives come to mind: extraordinary, interesting, lively, fascinating, witty. The audience was keenly interested in the issues of motivation and career path, approaches and principles of forming a target client profile, principles and approaches in creating risk models. Meetings in a similar format with the participation of students and representatives of the business community are useful for both parties, since the first one helps them understand and form a real idea of ​​​​the current business, and the second one looks at potential colleagues, what interests them, what values ​​are most important to them. important,” shared Evgeny Shashkov
