The courses are conducted for pre-retirees according to international standards, and a special programme of vocational training and additional professional education is also implemented in the Centre.

“Skills Passport” is new in the labour market, but it is already recognized by the country’s leading employers, the certificate of a person’s current professional skills, confirming their level of competency in accordance with WorldSkills standards. At the moment, a significant number of pre-pensioners in Russia already have a skill passport, which gives them good prospects for further development of their professional career.

In order to successfully pass the demonstration exam in the studied competence, a thorough development of professional skills and abilities is necessary. Pre-pensioners studying at the Centre daily solve practical problems using the equipment in the laboratory of the CCS “Web Design and Development” (competence centre).

Training according to WorldSkills standards will help adult professionals increase their competitiveness and mobility, thereby strengthening their position in the labour market. The main objective of the programme is the acquisition or development of practical skills and abilities among students.
