On 10 October 10, Petr Chernobay, CEO of the construction company OOO JUPITER, gave a lecture to students of the SPbGASU Faculty of Civil Engineering about choosing a specialty in the construction industry. According to him, this could be the development of construction projects, the construction of residential and non-residential buildings, and technical inspection of buildings and structures.
“Determining your calling in the construction industry is the key to a successful career. To do this, you need to analyze your interests, abilities and values, as well as explore possible options and directions in construction. Follow your aspirations to find your own place in this exciting field of activity,” he urged the students.
Petr Chernobay explained how to determine professional preferences and inclinations to identify the construction specialty that suits you, and invited students to come on a tour of a construction site.
"Career guidance in construction includes the process of determining the ideal match between a person's personality, his interests, abilities and the requirements for specialists in this field. To do this, it is important not only to understand what specialties exist in construction, but also to assess in which of them the student will be able to reveal his potential to the fullest. Determining one's own place in the construction industry begins with an analysis of one's interests, abilities, as well as a constant desire for self-improvement and professional growth. Therefore, such meetings of students with representatives of construction organizations are extremely important for career guidance," noted Aleksandr Glukhanov, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering for career guidance counceling, Associate Professor at the Department of Technosphere Safety.
Alla Kadyrova, a specialist at the SPbGASU Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Career, reminded that student years are a unique period when a person has the opportunity to explore different areas of activity. After all, graduates often face difficulties in choosing a future path and do not have time to reveal their strengths during their studies, and, accordingly, become competitive candidates for employment. If students start thinking about their career path now, they will be able to achieve success faster and avoid uncertainty in the future. That is why events such as getting to know companies are an important addition to obtaining higher education.
