Bronze medalists of WorldSkills "Wisdom Skills" became Alexander Zagibalov and Larisa Sheshukova
Alexander Zagibalov, Professor of the Department of Surveying and Geodesy, and Larisa Sheshukova, Head of the Department Laboratories, took the third place in the WorldSkills “Wise Skills” standards.

Alexander Zagibalov said that WorldSkills is an excellent platform for demonstrating skills and abilities, sharing experience at the All-Russian level:
“Five teams participated in the competition. The tests were divided into three modules: performing surveys on the ground, carrying out design points and determining the volume of the embankment. The survey was carried out using a Leica Geosystems robotic total station. The difficulty was that we did not use this modification of the device in practice and familiarized ourselves with the total station functionality only on the eve of the tournament. However, despite this, our team successfully coped with the task. Larisa Vitalyevna and I scored more than 60 points, only 0.8 points behind the silver medalists. Our rivals were teachers from Moscow. ”
As Larisa Sheshukova explained, the “Geodesy” competence competition was held in conditions close to the real production site. Professor Alexander Zagibalov conducted a master class on the introduction of BIM technologies in mining for participants of the Championship of working professions. Head of the Department of Surveying and Geodesy - President of the International Union of Surveyors Anatoly Okhotin emphasizes that if you received education for life, you need education throughout life in the modern world:
“Despite the great length of service and all kinds of regalia, a person must constantly enrich himself with new knowledge and new experience. We are trying to instill this faculty and student perspective on professional development and development. ”
According to the head of the vocational education department of the Irkutsk Region Education Ministry Anastasia Getmanskaya, Priangarya has been participating in WorldSkills movement for three years now:
“And we have something to be proud of. For example, this summer, guys from the Irkutsk region became silver medalists of the VI National Championship "Young Professionals". It is gratifying that the championship is now available for the older generation. And this means that new victories are ahead. ”
INRTU is an associate partner of the Union “Agency for the Development of Professional Communities and Manpower“ Young Professionals (WorldSkills Russia).
