The document implies the implementation of joint educational projects, including the organization of practice-oriented training. This involves both in-depth study of academic disciplines and professional modules by the company’s employees at the university and training of students in specialties in which INK enterprises are interested.

Today, all the programs for young specialists implemented at INK are available at TIU: university students undergo industrial internship, and there are plans to open corporate groups at the university site. The partners are also studying the issue of organizing training on sustainable development at TIU.

The agreement was signed at the Industrial and Energy Forum, which took place in Tyumen from September 18 to 25 and brought together more than 60 major companies. There were 35 business events, discussion and panel sessions, and round tables.

For example, INK held a Supplier Day for potential and current contractors. At the meeting, the company’s experts told about key projects and forecasted procurement volumes. Representatives of supplier companies, in turn, had the opportunity to engage in a direct dialog with the management of INK, as well as to demonstrate their technological solutions.

— Emphasis was placed on technological efficiency of production and application of new technologies. It is valuable for us that suppliers have shown interest in the whole line of necessary products and cooperation with INK, — said Ruslan Salikhov, Managing Director for Production — Chief Engineer, member of the Board of INK.

The forum also hosted an Open Day of oil and gas companies for students and young professionals with the participation of INK. HR experts shared their experience of building a career in the industry, and tools to improve personal and professional effectiveness.

Victoria Ilyukhina, Director of the Human Resources Management Department, noted that today the most in-demand competencies are the ability to learn and retrain, to anticipate the situation and forecast its development. She advised young people not to be afraid of horizontal development: to move in related directions, and even take a step back if necessary to gain new experience.

Marina Sedykh also met with the students of TIU and the specialized vocational school. She told the audience about the principles of sustainability and how INK follows them in its day-to-day operations. According to her, the modern generation, all things being equal, chooses an employer that has a high level of corporate culture and adheres to ESG principles.

Marina Sedykh spoke about INK’s personnel policy, work with students and young specialists at the plenary session HR Independence of the Country — New Prospects for New Times. The head of INK-Capital noted that the company now starts training future personnel literally from school. As part of a comprehensive training program, Ust-Kut has specialized INK Classes for high school students, a number of universities are recruiting corporate groups with opportunities for paid internships and subsequent employment, and the Company’s young specialists are offered adaptation programs and support from mentors.

In total, more than 12 thousand people visited the INK stand during the forum. Company representatives presented the Irkutsk Polymer Plant project.
