In 2005 the Company created a corporate system of continuing education “School - University - Enterprise” to form an external talent pool and a constant influx of highly educated young specialists to Rosneft.
Currently, with the support of Rosneft, in 57 cities and towns of the country (27 constituent entities of the Russian Federation), 122 Rosneft classes have been opened and are successfully operating in 64 schools, with 2,776 schoolchildren studying in them.
The Super final of the Educational Program at Sirius will be held online.
Finalists will go through 2 stages:
First, a scientific and technical educational quest will be organized online (lasting 2 academic hours) on the virtual laboratory website. Participants will get acquainted with the concept of creating a virtual space and virtual exhibits.
The quest will include a block of interactive tests and tasks on the basics of the oil and gas business, as well as in the field of ecology, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics. The finalists will complete tasks in the field of IT.
Then, there will be formed 18 teams of 6 people. Teams are formed by territory (considering time zones), by interests (based on motivation essays written by the participants) and taking into account the workload of students. Under the guidance of Sirius teachers, the teams will prepare ideas for creating a virtual museum dedicated to the history of the oil and gas industry.
Each team will develop a project of exhibits and will show it at the final presentation.
At the end of the Super final, the best works will be determined. Schoolchildren will present their engineering projects in priority areas of Rosneft’s activities.
