Students of the Faculty of Forensics and Law in Construction and Transport together with representatives of the SPbGASU Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Career visited the youth festival "T-Dvor" organized by T-Bank on 20 June. The event took place in the cultural space "Nikolskie Ryady" and was dedicated to career and educational opportunities for young people.
The goal of the festival is to create an open platform for communication between students, young professionals and employers, where they can learn about labor market trends, new formats of training and personal growth.
During the panel discussion, the participants analyzed what modern education should be like and came to the conclusion that the main requirements for it are flexibility, accessibility and practice-orientedness. In their opinion, for successful career growth it is important to have the opportunity to improve professionally without interruption from work, for which it is necessary to develop distance learning in master's programs and other digital educational platforms.
Of great interest was the lecture "Professions of the future: where are you in a world that has not been built yet". The speakers talked about combining technical thinking and a humanitarian approach - the ability to work with data, understand technology and at the same time think critically and creatively. According to experts, it is precisely these specialists who will be especially in demand in the coming years.
At the session “University vs. work: How to do it all,” participants learned how to effectively combine studies, part-time work, and personal life. Students especially remembered three pieces of advice from experts: it is necessary to plan not only tasks, but also rest; do not be afraid to ask for help – this is also part of professional growth; discipline is the basis of sustainable development, it can be “pumped up” just like muscles.
“The T-Dvor festival has become an excellent opportunity for our students not only to get acquainted with new educational formats, but also to think about their professional future and the path to it,” noted Margarita Sapozhnikova, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Forensics and Law in Construction and Transport for career guidance counceling.
