On the Day of Secondary Vocational Education (SVE), Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, together with the Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Mikhail Kotyukov, presented regional named scholarships to students of technical schools and colleges. The event took place at the National Center “Russia” as part of the deputy prime minister’s working trip to the region.
Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated those gathered on the 86th anniversary of the vocational education system.
“This is one of the most in-demand and effective systems in our country. The largest – more than 4,000 colleges and technical schools, where over 4 million students are trained. Huge thanks to the 170 thousand teachers and production training masters who help young people to acquire a specialty in a fairly short time, receive a decent salary and everything that follows when confidence in life appears, you start earning during industrial practice – in some educational institutions already from the first year,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
He wished everyone present health, success, good luck, and well-being, and also noted the role of the “Professionalitet” program.
“The flagship of the open source system is the program ‘Professionalitet’ of the national project ‘Youth and Children.’ This is a very successful format,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
The Deputy Prime Minister also presented a letter of appreciation to Irina Lukyanova, a teacher at the Regional State Autonomous Vocational Educational Institution “Achinsk College of Oil and Gas,” to Yegor Zaitsev, a student at the Regional State Budgetary Vocational Educational Institution “Uyar Agricultural College,” and to the team of the United Company “Rusal.”
“The popularity of secondary vocational education is growing every year. Enterprises have a high demand for graduates with trade qualifications: employers are ready to pay young specialists a decent salary and themselves participate in their training. And the regional named scholarship is recognition of the achievements of talented young people and a step towards them not stopping at what has been achieved and continuing to grow professionally in the Krasnoyarsk Territory,” emphasized Mikhail Kotyukov.
Dmitry Chernyshenko and the head of the Krasnoyarsk Territory evaluated the exhibition exposition of the National Center “Russia.” The permanent interactive exhibition occupies 3,500 sq. m and is structured according to the principle of energy circulation: from “strong” sectors (industry) to “living” ones (nature), from the environment to the human, and then to the future (education, youth, professions).
In Krasnoyarsk, during the final week of the VI International Olympiad on Financial Security, an award ceremony was held for the winners and prize-winners of the team financial security project competition “Everyone Is Informed.” Nine teams received awards — three each in the categories “Tool,” “Skill,” and “Voice.”
As part of the competition, the finalists of the olympiad formed teams and developed practical solutions to protect against financial threats. The competition’s geography covered more than 20 countries.
The winners and prize-winners in the “Instrument” category were awarded by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko. First place was taken by a team from China with the project “FinShield WebAgent” – a bilingual web agent for analyzing signs of financial fraud.
“At the International Financial Security Olympiad, a team project competition was held for the first time. In such a short time, a very important and useful initiative has emerged, where international teams come together to create very specific, practical projects for use. Some of them, like those of all three winning teams, I would personally like to use, since they include special AI agents that protect personal data or recognize attempts of phishing attacks and analyze risks that may arise when interacting with hostile AI agents or systems. All of this is completely practical. The selection funnel is also impressive — almost 80 projects, of which 18 reached the final. I really hope this initiative scales up. Huge thanks to the organizers,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.
Director of Rosfinmonitoring Yuriy Chikhanchin, in his address to the ceremony participants, noted: “When we first conceived this project, we spent a long time searching for a name and worrying about whether we could unite you, guys from different countries, to talk together about common problems. But everything worked out. Today we are reviewing the finalists’ projects—the ones that showed the best results. Let’s support them and ask for these projects to really be launched in our countries, and in a year we’ll look at their results. Success to you!”
The winners and prize holders of the “Voice” category were awarded by Oleg Barybin, the first deputy chairman of PJSC “Bank PSB”. First place was taken by the Russian team of the project “FINfors” – a youth media project on financial security for the 14–30 age audience.
The Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Mikhail Kotyukov, presented awards to the winners and prize-winners in the “Skill” category. First place was taken by the team from Russia and Kyrgyzstan with the project “FinShield” – an offline financial security simulator for people over 60 years old and children aged 5–8.
“By organizing the olympiad, our goal was not only to expand your knowledge but also to leave a legacy for everyone else. These basic skills should help people of different ages and generations protect themselves from offenses that perpetrators intend to commit. I sincerely thank you for these projects and am confident that the winners will receive nationwide recognition and the opportunity to utilize these developments,” said Mikhail Kotyukov.
The assessment of the work involved representatives from the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Rosfinmonitoring, the Anti-Terrorism Center of the CIS member states, PJSC “PSB Bank,” and the International Training and Methodological Center for Financial Monitoring.
Dmitry Chernyshenko, Yuri Chikhanchin, and Mikhail Kotyukov also visited the exhibition dedicated to the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, held by decree of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin.
