Irkutsk Oil Company (IOC) invites residents of the Irkutsk region to the Career Festival, which will be held on June 28 at Constitution Square (Youth Center). Admission is free.

The event will mark the start of the Best in Profession corporate competition, which IOC has been holding since 2011 to identify highly qualified specialists. This year, company employees will compete in 52 categories. The first three – pipeline fitter, firefighter, and industrial safety specialist – will be presented at the festival. Competitions in the remaining 49 categories will be held in July and August at production facilities.

The festival is an opportunity to learn about professions in the oil and gas industry, find out about IOC projects, and even try your hand at some disciplines: for example, practicing evacuation procedures in case of fire. Guests can look forward to tours of the competition venues, master classes in the cyber arena, VR simulators, board games, a children's area, a photo zone with personal protective equipment near the crew bus, and a 3D film.

In the career counseling and guidance area, HR specialists will talk about employment at IOC, employee benefits, and programs for young people. Those interested will be able to learn about job openings and fill out resumes. Branded merchandise from IOC will be provided for active participation. A festive concert will take place at the end of the day. In addition, the regional Youth Day will be held in the square on this day. Details are available on the website.
