Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova's statement about the most in-demand occupations shows a new direction for the development of the Russian labor market. What changes should people expect, what will happen to “unclaimed” specialties? – said State Duma deputy Svetlana Bessarab.
In a commentary on RuNews24.ru, State Duma Deputy Svetlana Bessarab talked about the labor market situation in Russia and what professions will be in demand in the near future.
“National project” Personnel “attaches great importance to the preparation of specialties. And indeed, Tatyana Alekseevna Golikova, at the award ceremony of the “Best Profession” based on the results of the All-Russian competition, noted that the demand is the most. Among them: welders, seamstresses, turners, milling machine operators, CNC operators and many others, “noted the deputy minister.
The Russian labor market is changing. If previously there was no need for skilled labor, today the situation has changed due to import substitution, with a change in the tasks facing the state in terms of technological sovereignty and scientific sovereignty. We should not forget that Russia is currently a leader in the development of drones, and this field also needs trained personnel.
“The president has tasked us with moving to a high-wage economy. So these are the highest-paying blue-collar occupations today. And really today, professionally, with employers, with the state, educational institutions are preparing kids who don't want to go to higher education, who are willing to learn a trade and earn their own money, often earning more than office workers.”
Changes are also coming in previously popular areas of expertise. If before many people sought to become lawyers, economists and psychologists, now the situation will be different.
“This year it was almost impossible for us to sign up for free places to train lawyers.”
The congressman explained that if the country did not need lawyers, the country would have no plan to allocate budget for these professions. Graduates will study further to study technical majors, majors that are truly in demand in the market and not dictated by fashion trends.
“Of course, on the one hand, people who were previously trained as lawyers and economists still find themselves in life. But the vast majority of them do not work in their specialty. At the same time, the state today is no longer willing to spend funds for these purposes, because we really have a huge need for new specialties.”
Svetlana Bessarab emphasized that today there is not only artificial intelligence and the IT technology sector, but also agriculture, robotics and machine tools.
“Now there are quite a few interesting specialties being restored today and, of course, there will be demand tomorrow.”
