We Help our Students to Turn Real Professionals. Innovative Approach to Mining and Geological Training

Yu.N. Malyshev, A.V. Titova

Currently, the most critical challenge for sustainable development of the Russian natural resources sector is a shortage of qualified personnel and, most notably, technicians and engineers. It is common knowledge that Russia is currently experiencing considerable difficulties in training specialists in mineral resources development. Innovative interactive practices that help the students elevate their minds and take an imaginative approach to the subject matter play a key role in modern educational processes. The Centre successfully continues its systematic efforts to seek for and create a pool of talent teenagers and youth for the industrial enterprises and academic institutions.

Key words: mining, geology, environmental sciences, innovative approach in education, vocational guidance for school children, research and educational activities, educational programmes
