“Altapress” reported about advanced training and professional retraining programs being implemented by the College of Altai State University.

According to Order on approval of the list of educational organizations and programs dated July 12, 2023 No. P-309, Altai State University received the right to implement popular continuing education programs in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that the application for participation in the project on behalf of Altai State University was formed and submitted by specialists from the Center for Further Education of the College of Altai State University under the leadership of Roman Rakitin, College Director, and Anna Prasolova, Deputy Director for Strategic Development. Work in this direction will be supervised by the College staff. Along with the Center for Further Professional Education of the College of Altai State University, the Center for Continuing Education of the Institute of Humanities and the Regional Center for Advanced Training of Teachers of Higher and Secondary Special Educational Institutions of Altai State University will take part in the program.

In 2022, Altai State University College already became the leader in the number of trained citizens within the framework of the federal project “Promotion of Employment” of the national project “Demography” under the WorldSkills programs (according to the operator of the Center for Advanced Vocational Training).

– Last year we already successfully participated in this project. At that time, 66 people completed training in our continuing education programs. But that was at the regional level, and at the moment we are aiming to obtain the status of a federal platform, which will allow us to deliver educational programs to all regions of the Russian Federation,” says Roman Rakitin.

In the 2022-2023 academic year, Altai State University College implemented 14 continuing education programs for 66 students. This year it is planned to implement 43 programs for 100 or more students. A detailed list of continuing education programs from AltSU College can be found here. The authors of our educational products are the best specialists, practical teachers with many years of experience in their professional field and education system.

– In 2022, the program operators under the program "Promotion of Employment" were World Skills specialists. This year, these rights were transferred to the Institute of Vocational Education. This will be our first time working with this institution, but we feel that everything will work out. We are confident in the quality of our educational products, in their relevance and demand both in  Altai Krai and beyond. Particular emphasis was placed on IT areas, tourism and hospitality, and the economy. I can say that we have taken into account all the most necessary and in-demand areas in the labor market that correspond to the priorities of the “Promotion of Employment” program,” Anna Prasolova comments on the event.

The programs offered are characterized by relevance, flexibility and variety. Future students will have access to both advanced training courses lasting from 72 to 144 hours, and professional retraining programs lasting 256 hours. The variety of programs is reflected not only in their quantity, in itself, but also in the variety of the areas offered – Finance and Economics, Service, Communication and Media, Information and Communication Technologies, Social Services, Administration and Office Activities, Landscape Design, Education and Science, Physical Culture, etc.

AltSU College under the auspices of Altai State University undoubtedly shows the highest quality level of work of an educational organization and is ready to make its significant contribution to the development of human resources and the labor market of the Russian Federation!
