The job fair has an important feature for the students as well - here you can get a job from reliable hands.

Schoolchildren visit at Petrozavodsk Autotransport Tekhnikum

On June 10th 2021, schoolchildren of the vocational guidance camp of Lyceum No. 13 visited the Petrozavodsk Autotransport Tekhnikum and a theme day was held for them - the trade union organization "Transport and Industry". During the prepared event, the children visited the workshops of our technical school, especially the welding workshop that has been equipped with new welding equipment with the help of Metalboost.

The schoolchildren not only got acquainted with the professions and specialities of the technical school, but also became welders for a short time.

Industrial training masters and teachers shared their experience with the children and in practice showed the importance of choosing the right profession.

At the end of our meeting, the schoolchildren were offered the opportunity to test their knowledge during the game: they guessed puzzles, charades, riddles, and collected puzzles. Saying goodbye, the guys said that they would like to come to us again, and will certainly come to us to study in the future.
