Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin approved an action plan for the implementation of the Concept for training personnel for the construction industry and housing and utilities until 2035. The document was developed by the Ministry of Construction in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor and the industry community and is aimed at achieving the national development goals of Russia outlined by the President.
“Training personnel for the construction and housing and utilities sectors is of strategic importance for the entire country, especially in the context of large-scale national development goals for Russia. Construction of comfortable housing, high-quality roads, infrastructure modernization, and improvement of populated areas require qualified specialists. Without them, it is impossible to ensure the fulfillment of all the tasks set. Their work directly affects the quality of life of millions of Russians. Last year, the Prime Minister approved the Concept for training personnel for the construction and housing and utilities sectors until 2035, and now we have prepared a “roadmap” in this area. We expect that over the next six years, over 850 thousand young specialists with various qualifications will be attracted to the industry. Systematic work to expand the human resources potential of the industry will also contribute to the fulfillment of the indicators of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister specified that the “road map” covers all stages of personnel training, from career guidance to scientific activity. The document provides for the development and implementation of new federal state educational standards and programs, including mechanisms for reducing training periods, as well as new professional standards.
“The total number of students enrolled in industry-related programs has been steadily growing in the country over the past four years. The leading role here is given to the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, which was recently included in the list of universities that provide training for engineering personnel and scientific developments for the country’s technological leadership. It is also the basic organization for training and advanced training of personnel in the construction and housing and communal services industries not only in Russia, but also in all CIS countries. In addition, the President supported the project to create a world-class campus on the basis of the National Research University MGSU,” added the Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering.
According to Marat Khusnullin, the roadmap plans to develop interaction between educational organizations and industry companies. This work includes increasing the target student intake, expanding educational opportunities for foreign students, raising the status of professions related to architecture and construction, and popularizing the construction industry as a whole.
“Taking into account the implementation of the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, which involves large-scale construction of housing, utilities, transport, industrial and social infrastructure in all regions of Russia, as well as on the basis of the Strategy for the Development of the Construction Industry and Housing and Public Utilities, the projected number of specialists in construction and housing and public utilities by 2030, taking into account data from the Ministry of Labor of Russia, is estimated at 6.8 million people. Currently, the system of training personnel for the construction industry and housing and public utilities includes more than 270 higher education institutions and their branches, as well as over 1.5 thousand vocational education organizations. In 2024, compared to 2020, the number of students in construction universities increased by 9.3 thousand people (18.7%), technical schools and colleges – by 11.7 thousand people (6.3%),” said Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Fayzullin.
In areas of training and specialties related to architecture, construction and housing and public utilities, the annual average number of university graduates exceeds 34 thousand people, technical schools and colleges – over 117 thousand people.
