"Employees from Gazprom Neft commence their positions at UNPZ"
In the heart of Russia, a unique partnership between Omsk Refinery (OmNPP) and Omsk State Technical University (OmGTU) is fostering the growth of a highly skilled workforce in the oil refining industry.
Since 2014, the professional orientation program "School - College/University - ONPP" has been in operation, providing systematic support to schools, universities, and colleges. This program aims to identify schoolchildren interested in oil refining and train professionals according to the needs of the industry.
The collaboration between OmGTU and OmNPP has been a long-standing one, with the Rector of OmGTU, Pavel Korchagin, stating that studying at the Gazprom Neft base chair equips students with solid theoretical knowledge and professional skills directly on the production facilities of ONPP.
The program includes a wide range of professional orientation events, with more than 2000 schoolchildren participating annually. Graduates have studied Chemical Technology and Technological Machines and Equipment, and over 230 have already started their careers in the field of oil refining. Four graduates even received red diplomas, a testament to their exceptional achievements.
Through this collaboration, students gain hands-on experience in real-world settings, a crucial aspect of building practical skills in oil refining. They also have access to industry specialists, enhancing their curriculum with tailored courses that reflect current industry needs.
The benefits of this partnership extend beyond the classroom. Graduates often have increased chances of employment by OmNPP, as they have already gained relevant experience and skills. Moreover, they enjoy decent wages, comfortable working conditions, and an expanded social package.
