up To half the time students spend in the workplace, and after College get not only the work and the diploma of the Russian sample, but the evidence of the European level. Employers are interested in qualified personnel under their requirements: mechatronika, specialists in Metalworking, logistics specialists and administrative activities. The need for such personnel will increase.
As emphasized at the hearings regarding the development of vocational education in the Federation Council, held in late winter, about 80 percent of all employed in the Russian economy are workers or mid-level professionals. However, only 62.2% of College graduates can after graduation to find work in the specialty. And although the websites of most companies are constantly placed ads on numerous job vacancies, there do not hurry to hire freshly baked professionals. Not because they were taught badly, and taught in isolation from reality. The conclusion is simple: the company should dictate to the school what they need specialists, and this, of course, to participate in the preparation, including financial.
Therefore, dual education today is beneficial to three parties: the employer, the educational institution and the student. In fact, it is system where the company takes responsibility for practical skills and a College for theoretical knowledge. During the training period the student receives a scholarship. The company thus invests in a good, integrated team of specialists. The probability of student employment significantly increases.
in 2013, the VTP has launched five pilot projects of dual education. One of the most promising professions in the time – control unit. It was originally a German profession that combines the skills of an electrician, electronics and mechanic and it specialist. These professionals work with complex computerized machines and other equipment. One of the first projects started in company BauTex in the city of Gus-Khrustalny on the basis of a different specialty. Over the years of implementation and adaptation of the dual training process managed by the joint forces of ECP to implement the specialization “mechatronics and robotics” in College, Gus-Crystal.
Today, the German companies work in close conjunction with 14 colleges in eight Russian regions. During the implementation of the programme have already graduated from the dual study programme at the German model almost 300 students in 9 specialties.
the Russian-German chamber of Commerce is working to improve Federal rules that would provide professional training, focusing on the German dual model in each subje��those of the Russian Federation. The plans and new skills, for example, from the sphere of waste management: it is very promising and in need of modern skills direction.
the Company “HeidelbergCement” in cooperation with Russian-German chamber of Commerce and Slantsevsky industrial College also launched the program of dual education. In 2020, the company plans to adopt the two third year students as interns in the profession of locksmith-repairer. In the past year, the company has already chosen two people that matched the profile of students, and they are accepted at work now complement the theoretical training in College, combined study and work practical skills in the factory.
the dual education System means equally trained “for the party and for the machine” that in the end, in addition to the diploma of the Russian sample, the graduates receive a certificate confirming the knowledge corresponding to German quality requirements. Graduates of the industrial College coach this year receive a diploma in the specialty “Mechanization of agriculture” and the certificate of the German model of “Specialist in metal”.
In the 2020-2021 academic year, 10 students of the Krasnodar machine-building College will receive Russian diplomas in the field of “mechanical engineering” and the German certificate by profession “Industrial mechanic”.
of Course, dual, education is not limited only to the working professions. Major German companies in Russia successfully cooperate with universities. For example, in Germany a long time and successfully implements SAP program of dual education. It works not only within the country, there are projects with universities from the Gulf countries. The feature of the “University” of dual programs is that the student goes immediately to the University and the company, with 3-4 years of training (this applied baccalaureate), he spends it in the company.
“Such a system helps train personnel in specific areas, and the student is sure of his future employment, and between universities maintained healthy competition,” says Andrei Filatov, General Director of SAP CIS.
In Russia it operates a little differently: through the program SAP University Alliance. Globally it includes more than 3500 universities out of which about 135 – from Russia and the CIS. The basic approach – model, Train-the-trainer, training of trainers, who disseminate knowledge to the students. Teachers gain knowledge through workshops, an online library of training materials SAP Learning Hub Academic Edition.
“the Main advantage of dual education – a higher quality of training. You want to become an engineer and work in manufacturing? The University has given you theoretical knowledge but you have little idea how the shop looks from the inside, what hardware is in it installed. Below such situations do not arise, and there is dual education,” says Andrew Beloyedov, Executive Director of sales and marketing at REHAU Eastern Europe.
At REHAU has its own training center – REHAU Academy is designed to develop competencies in the use of the products and solutions of company. Come architects, designers, installers of engineering systems and others. Had no issues to add to this list, and students.
“the Initiative has found support among Russian specialized colleges, and now we cooperate with them in the framework of dual education on an ongoing basis. Some of the students after graduation stay with us. Now they work in the Moscow office and factory in Gzhel, and in the regional offices. This shows the effectiveness of the system,” sums up Andrew Beloyedov.
