Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk (the investor, owner and operator of the Amur GPP) has been accepting students from the leading Russian universities and the partner universities of PJSC Gazprom for on-the-job training for several years. In 2023, 111 students will have their on-the-job training at one of the largest gas processing plants in the country. Among them are sixteen graduates of Gazprom class at school No. 1 in Svobodny. They, as students, are getting acquainted with the advanced equipment of the Amur GPP and are learning the detailed design documentation, occupational safety, industrial and fire safety.
In the group of students undergoing on-the-job training at the plant, there are two graduates from the second set of Gazprom class who received matriculation certificates in 2021. Aleksandra Vagner went to Gazprom class at school No. 1 in Svobodny from the neighboring town of Tsiolkovsky. She has been studying at the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas in the field of Chemical Technology. Her classmate Vladimir Astafyev, the winner of the All-Russian School Competition Big Change, has been studying at the Saint Petersburg Mining University. After graduation he will become a professional in the field of IT technologies.
«The Gazprom class gave me the strong knowledge base and confidence in the future. So, I had no worries when entering to the university. The Gazprom class graduates are ready for any challenges. My life plan is scheduled for the next five years. I will come to work at the Amur GPP in Svobodny. I believe that this is a very interesting project,» said Vladimir Astafyev.
