Report on Jobs Fair held in 2024 in Rostov-on-Don

Introduction

The purpose of the report is to provide an overview of the jobs fair that took place in Rostov-on-Don in April 2024. This report will discuss work-and-study programs and apprenticeship programs that have attracted most of the young attendees. It will further evaluate the impact of job fairs on young people in general. The findings of the report are based on polls conducted among both entrepreneurs and applicants.

Overview

The jobs fair took place in the premises of the Southern Technical University, hosting about a hundred representatives of overseas companies who have been able to initiate contact with more than three hundred university students and about five hundred graduates / experienced alumni.

Work and study abroad

Top-tier universities offered a work and study program which attracted about 40% of the attendees who were currently students in local universities. The findings of the opinion poll revealed that almost all of the applicants would appreciate the opportunity to continue their studies abroad, at the same time securing a job in their profile companies with sufficient ease.

Apprenticeship abroad

Having attracted another 40% of the attendees, apprenticeship programs were the next in popularity. Eighty percent of the applicants reported to be practicing employees who were graduates from technical and medical universities. They stated that with the two fields being the fastest growing areas in the world, apprenticeship programs would enable them to keep pace with the advancements in their fields. Moreover, they were confident that the skills gained abroad would benefit their careers at home.

Conclusion

Ninety percent of all poll respondents agreed that working and studying abroad would empower young people to broaden their horizons to new cultures and different approaches in their fields of expertise. Seventy percent expressed a preference for such job fairs to be held at least biannually. In this way, more young people would be recruited to foreign enterprises and have better career opportunities in the future.

Some highlights of my 2024 reading challenge Noise by  by Cass R. Sunstein, Daniel Kahneman, and Olivier Sibony This book explores the flaws in human judgment and strategies to minimize, if not entirely eliminate, them. The book reveals that errors in judgment occur far more often than we might expect, particularly in areas where precision is critical.   Consider a judge who imposes penalties while being influenced by their mood or a criminal’s resemblance to someone they know. Or imagine a doctor making a diagnosis based on their personal characteristics or … the time of the day. These types of interference in decision-making are real, yet we rarely question the judgments of authority figures.   One of the key solutions proposed in the book to reduce such errors—referred to as ‘noise’—is systematization. This means creating a standardized process: compiling data, assigning scores, and using formulas to automate decision-making.   ‘Formulas and robots beat human judg...

 English for Specific Purposes: A learning-centered approach  by  Tom Hutchinson and Alan Waters Summary of Insights Since I mainly teach one-to-one classes, I try to adapt them to my students’ individual needs. While most of the learners I deal with are English teachers (such a blessing, isn’t it?), some have different jobs: medical workers, IT specialists, etc. To address the language needs of this latter category, I became curious about teaching English for specific purposes, ESP. My task was to effectively combine a conventional course book with specialized materials. So the book I studied is called English for Specific Purposes: A learning-centered approach by Tom Hutchinson and Alan Waters. Below I give a summary of my findings.   The book advocates a learning-centered approach. This means that an ESP syllabus has its main target to enhance eagerness to learn. Refrain from using too specialized texts in case a student finds them boring. On the other hand, us...

Write your answer in 240-280 words on the separate answer sheet. 1 A Pain in the Neck In the middle of the twentieth century, typists started to complain of pain in their necks, shoulders and arms, and since then Repetitive Strain Injury has become a widespread problem which costs the world economy billions of pounds a year . With workers sitting at desks for eight hours a day for years on end, often with poor posture and poorly designed workspaces, it is hardly surprising that so many people develop problems. More and more companies are now calling in ergonomic consultants. They find that by following their advice productivity increases and claims for injury or illness greatly diminish .
