Association «StekloSouz» of Russia. Meeting on personnel training for the Russian glass industry

On September 25, 2023, the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia (hereinafter referred to as SSR) held a meeting on the topic: “Problems of personnel training for the Russian glass industry.”

The meeting was chaired by Viktor Osipov, President of the Association "StekloSouz" of Russia.

Heads of departments, committees and services of the SSR presented analytical notes on the quality of training of specialists for the glass industry and made proposals.

Pavel Gorshkov, director of the glass containers department, in his report said that there are requests from factories about the shortage of operators, mechanics and other specialists.

Aleksey Savin, Chairman of the Ecology Committee, said that it is necessary to train environmental specialists, for whom complex problems will have to be solved: from developing the consumption of cullet, improving the regulatory framework for responsibility for air pollution, to participating in the work of organizing interactions with authorities to implement separate collection of secondary raw materials. Changing the structure in the ratio of raw materials from cullet and batch to 50% or more is a real task, which makes it possible to save energy, improving the profitability of factories. This is especially important in the modern world.

All heads of services expressed the alarming situation.

Viktor Osipov, summing up the meeting, proposed at the annual meeting in November 2023, together with educational institutions, to draw up a unified training program for specialists. The basis is to coordinate training programs with factories.

The execution of the decision is entrusted to the heads of the SSR services. To do this, together with the heads of enterprises, prepare proposals for universities and colleges.
