The final defense of projects prepared by students of the Polytechnic University took place in the Grand Canyon. They presented to the customer and received feedback from managers and curators.
At the beginning of this year, SPbPU and the Grand Canyon development area signed a cooperation agreement. The parties agreed to develop programs that help students obtain relevant knowledge and skills that are in demand in the real sector of the economy.
The project defense was attended by the creator of the Grand Canyon Mussa Ekzekov, manager Andrey Atamas and the owner’s advisor Larisa Magero. The curators of the student groups were the head of the Project Office Anastasia Bukhtina, the HR Director Ekaterina Kozlova, the manager of the Grand Canyon Hotel Oksana Grishaeva and the deputy chief engineer Sergey Cherepanov.
It is always useful and important to get a fresh perspective from the outside, especially from young people who are not yet bound by rules and patterns, noted Musa Ekzekov.
The Polytechnic University was represented by Vice-Rector for Educational Activities Lyudmila Pankova and Associate Professor of the Higher School of Service and Trade Elmira Kutyeva.
Over the course of three months, student groups and their supervisors developed comprehensive proposals for the development of Grand Canyon. The work was conducted in four areas: marketing research for the shopping center, management of the Grand Canyon Hotel, a product for recording requests from the dispatch group for the real estate group operation unit, and administration of the complex.
The main result of the internship is that the students applied their knowledge in practice and gained real experience working with a customer.
The guys are great, they managed to study our work processes in a short period of time and immerse themselves in the specifics of the business, propose and defend their ideas, – shared Anastasia Bukhtina.
Anastasia Zyablitseva from the Marketing Research team said that she was interested in feeling part of the corporate culture of a big business. The guys are sure that the experience they gained will help them in the future.
After the presentation defenses, all participants received certificates of appreciation and gift sets.
