“During the autumn holidays, we have prepared projects for Moscow schoolchildren that will help them get closer to various professions, develop soft skills, and make new friends. ‘PROCareer’ offers an opportunity to try out one of the professions — from information technology and creative industries to construction and social services. ‘PROHeroes’ allows them to learn about the daily life of active firefighters, rescuers, and aircraft designers, as well as master basic professional skills and see how emergency rescue teams operate. This year, we have added a new direction, ‘Medicine’, which will introduce kids to the healthcare field and teach them how to act in emergency situations,” said Andrey Tarasov, head of the Moscow Employment Service and the ‘Professions of the Future’ center.”
