“The issue of training specialists who have the most up-to-date skills and can work on the state-of-the-art equipment is extremely important. Universities need to resolve those matters together with employers. It is not always possible to provide the most advanced equipment to a university. Quite often, such equipment is unique. But it is important not just to wait until a fresher comes from the university to “put hand to the plough” and start working. It is important that enterprises participate in the development and implementation of educational programs and in what is called “acceptance procedure”, as part of state certification commissions. Nowadays we are developing this at the practical level,” said M. M. Kotyukov.
