This spring, SPbPU began distributing the autumn stream of students of the Formula IT programs, implemented within the framework of the Digital Department project, to practical training. The “Practice” module is a mandatory part of the training programs and is dedicated to the practical application of acquired knowledge and skills on real tasks. The event was attended by 625 students who formed more than 60 teams, uniting both Polytechnic students and representatives of other universities. For several months, the guys immersed themselves in the technologies and tasks of the Rostelecom IT company, developing team solutions for the cases provided.
In 2025, Polytechnic University provided students with several different options for internships.
Course “Fundamentals of Project Activity”. More than 1,500 second-year students chose this option for completing their internship, implementing projects of various focus areas in interdisciplinary teams. Project “Development of a board game dedicated to the history of the university”. This project, under the supervision of Alexander Perin, took second place in the nomination “Creative projects” in the final of the annual competition of the course “Fundamentals of Project Activity”. Case championship “IT Perspective”. It was held with the support of Rostelecom IT.
The tasks proposed for implementation allowed students to apply and expand their skills in various areas of IT, from WEB application development/DevOps development to user interface design and data analysis.
The championship involved students from different programs, which allowed the creation of interdisciplinary teams. This facilitated the exchange of ideas and a better understanding of different approaches to solving the case, which in turn improved the quality of the developed product. In addition, the participants were able to develop teamwork and communication skills, which is an important aspect of their future professional activities.
The award ceremony for the best teams of the case championship took place in the Polytech Tower. Rostelecom IT provided the guys with letters of recommendation and valuable prizes.
The traditional option for completing an internship is to complete a project or solve a problem assigned by the program partners.
Most students in the program “Digital Modeling Tools for Power Generating Enterprises” chose to practice a case from the IT company NEMO, which provided a demo version of its information system for monitoring and optimization used in PJSC “TGK-1”. In this system, students loaded digital models of the thermal power plant, which they created as part of the course, set up calculations for them, wrote forecast scenarios in a special open code and visualized the results of the calculations on marked mnemonic schemes.
Students of the Digital Marketing and Social Networks program had the opportunity to complete an internship and write a final project on the topic of SMM and project promotion on the VKontakte social network at the Grand Media Service communications agency (a certified Yandex.Direct agency, a VK Advertising partner).
The laboratories “Industrial Systems of Streaming Data Processing” of the PISh “CI” and “Digital Modeling of Industrial Systems” of the PISh “CI SPbPU” offered their tasks on assessing the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing customer reviews on social networks and analyzing competitors to students of the “Python. Data Analysis in Marketing” program.
The internship under the program “System and Network Administration of Linux” was conducted in close cooperation with the company “Bazalt SPO”, the developer of the domestic operating system based on GNU/Linux – Alt OS.
The following tracks were available for students of the programs “1C Business Analyst” and “Development of Digital Solutions Based on 1C Technologies”:
“Design and automation of business processes at a manufacturing enterprise based on “1C: ERP Enterprise Management 2.0.” from Omega; “Advanced modeling of business processes and work with requirements for information systems” from Dialog IT; Mobile development in the “1C: Enterprise” environment from Implementers and Programmers.
Pavel Korolev, technical architect of the 1C department, author and instructor of the course, spoke about the possibility of completing an internship at the company GC “KORUS Consulting” (partner of 1C programs).
Our practice is distinguished by its unique technology. We use the new platform “1C:Enterprise.Element” to solve problems. Each student creates their own application on this platform. One of the key tasks is to develop an API for a web application. This allows third-party services to interact with the student’s application via the HTTP protocol. “1C:Enterprise.Element” is an excellent starting point for students who want to enter the IT sphere. Thanks to the availability of the platform, you can start with easier tasks and gradually move on to large-scale projects. We also support students in the implementation of coursework, diploma and competition papers. It is important for me to be part of the process that helps young professionals take their first steps in the profession, – said Pavel Viktorovich.
Another interesting format of practice is participation in the Student Startup competition. Its goal is to support students working on projects at an early stage: creating new products, technologies or services based on scientific and technical developments with commercialization potential. The winners receive a grant of up to 1 million rubles to implement their idea.
The internship within the framework of the Formula IT programs became for students not just a formal stage of training, but an important step in professional development. Students were able to apply theoretical knowledge to real tasks and immerse themselves in current industry processes, get acquainted with market requirements and employers’ expectations, and also gain valuable experience.
