Over 7,000 children participated in vocational familiarization workshops in Labina
In the face of an acute shortage of qualified workers in the economy, the Voronezh Technical School of Food Production is playing a crucial role in nurturing future talent. Located in Voronezh, this school focused on food production has been guiding students towards their first professional qualifications for over a decade.
Over the past 10 years, 7,000 schoolchildren and kindergarteners have participated in activities at the Voronezh Technical School of Food Production. Many of these participants have chosen to continue their studies at the school, demonstrating its effectiveness in attracting and retaining students.
The school's approach to career guidance is evident in activities such as the schoolchildren's olympiad. Anna Minykova, a regional deputy head, recently met with the winners and runners-up of this event to emphasize the importance of meeting a profession face-to-face for young people's decision-making about specialties.
The Voronezh Technical School of Food Production is a key implementer of the federal project "My First Profession." This project allows schoolchildren to earn their first professional qualification while still in school. The school offers a variety of masterclasses in food production-related fields, covering various fields such as confectionery, meat processing, gas equipment maintenance, robotics creation, and dairy product manufacturing.
Students and teachers at the Voronezh Technical School of Food Production conduct these masterclasses, providing hands-on learning experiences for the participants. This practical approach is designed to give schoolchildren a taste of the profession and help them make informed decisions about their future careers.
Anna Minykova highlighted the importance of such initiatives in a recent post on Telegram. She emphasised that these activities not only provide career guidance but also offer a valuable opportunity for young people to explore their interests and passions.
The Voronezh Technical School of Food Production is making a significant contribution to addressing the skills shortage in the economy by nurturing the next generation of food production professionals. Through its masterclasses, career guidance activities, and the federal project "My First Profession," the school is providing a pathway for schoolchildren to gain valuable skills and qualifications while still in school.
