Testing and meetings with college representatives
Meetings of “PROSaturday: the future of your child” are held monthly during the school year at the “Professions of the Future” center. The events last about three hours.
Ninth graders and their parents will be able to talk with representatives of leading colleges in Moscow. Specialists will explain how to achieve the desired profession, how practice-oriented education is organized, and what employment opportunities graduates have.
Career guidance testing and consultations with career mentors will help students identify their interests and strengths, as well as learn about the requirements for education and employment in various specialties. Using a VR simulator, students will be able to explore different professions and try themselves, for example, as a welder, baker, or barista.
Opportunities of the “Professions of the Future” center
As Sergey Sobyanin noted in the strategy for the development of Moscow’s social protection system until 2030, the capital will continue to scale up the comprehensive career guidance program. Every teenager will be able to make a conscious choice of their future specialty.
The Moscow Employment Service is the largest government staffing operator, assisting Moscow residents in finding jobs. At the “Professions of the Future” center (38 Shchepkina Street, Building 1), one can master one of 75 in-demand specialties across various economic sectors in a maximum of three months. Career mentors will help with employment after completing the training. Among the institution’s partners are more than three thousand employers.
The center works not only with adults. A comprehensive career guidance program is implemented here for ninth-grade students. Since the beginning of the year, the project has been expanded to include students in grades 10-11.
In the fall of 2025, the “Professions of the Future” center established its own practical training site in Pechatniki. The educational process covers the full cycle — from training adults and college students to graduating qualified specialists and providing their ongoing support in the labor market. Adults can acquire an in-demand profession or improve their qualifications and skill level, while college students can undertake internships organized by their educational institutions.
