Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Gazprom Neft Corporate University have launched the Energy to Teach advanced training program. It is aimed at developing new competencies in teachers of secondary vocational educational institutions — participants in the Gazprom Neft College League educational ecosystem.
The goal of the program: to teach teachers to adapt existing college programs to current business needs and demands of industrial partners and to ensure high demand for graduates in the labor market.
The program is designed for 190 hours and is held in a network format from March to May, includes two face-to-face intensive courses and distance modules. 59 teachers from various regions participate in the training.
Development of professional competencies
The program covers modern educational approaches, corporate standards of professions, project methodology and mechanisms for developing educational materials. This approach helps to systematize knowledge and form effective mechanisms for training specialists.
A systematic approach to developing corporate standards allows not only to structure knowledge, but also to form working mechanisms for training specialists in demand. Interaction with experts and project methodology ensure a high level of development of each aspect, – noted Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Additional and Pre-University Education at SPbPU.
Practice-oriented learning
Particular attention is paid to organizing systemic interaction between college teachers and Gazprom Neft representatives. Current employees of the company conduct seminars within the framework of face-to-face modules, and also interact with participants in the formats of direct and inverted internships: they receive teachers at enterprises and go to colleges.
During the implementation of the program, it is important for us to create conditions for the integration of the College League teachers into the Gazprom Neft educational ecosystem and the development of a sustainable system of communications between the college and the customer enterprise on issues of updating educational programs, organizing internships, and exchanging professional expertise, said Ekaterina Solovyova, Head of Development of the Internal Coaching and Mentoring System at the Gazprom Neft Corporate University.
The Role of the Gazprom Neft Corporate University
The corporate university acts as the main customer of the program, actively participating in its development and implementation. It provides methodological support and attracts experts to integrate corporate practices into the educational process.
The Energy to Train program is one of the elements of systematic work with partner colleges to improve the personnel security of the Gazprom Neft group of companies. It is important for us that the educational experience that students receive at the college contributes to their seamless transition to our enterprises, said Bulat Zaripov, Vice-Rector of the Gazprom Neft Corporate University.
Expected results
The program not only allows to bring together the educational programs of secondary vocational education with the needs of the enterprise, but also serves as a platform for building a constructive dialogue between the educational institution and the industrial partner. Participants in the educational process form mutual agreements on the exchange of best practices in matters of personnel training and development, building an internship system, and equipping training grounds.
Responding to market challenges
“Energy to teach” is a response to modern challenges of the secondary vocational education system and industry. Improving teaching skills directly affects the quality of students’ training, and network interaction between the academic environment and business contributes to the formation of highly qualified personnel.
Teachers form future specialists, passing on not only knowledge but also professional values. Our task is to create conditions in which they can master new methods, adapt educational programs and effectively cooperate with business, – emphasized the program curator, head of the Directorate of Continuing Education and Industry Partnership of SPbPU Ivan Kurta.
