Rivne Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) together with the National University of Water and Environmental Engineering (NUWEE) bring the education system closer to the needs of graduates and the labor market. The first graduate of NUWEE in the dual form of education successfully works as a driver of pumping units of the department of thermal and underground communications of Rivne NPP.
In the framework of Rivne NPP cooperation with NUWEE, in addition to lectures for students of 3-5 courses of technical specialties, analysis of curricula in order to bring them closer to the needs of NPPs, a dual form of education is available, in which students have the opportunity to study and work simultaneously. The first achieved result of this form was the defense of the master's thesis project in "Heat Power Engineering" by student Vira Pidlisna.
The young specialist was assigned a leader in each of the areas of study. Theoretical lectures were conducted online by NUWEE teachers and power plant specialists. Serhiy Lytvyn, Senior Head of the RNPP CTC, became the head of the practical field of education and helped to consolidate theoretical knowledge directly in the workplace.
"For me, this was an attractive offer, because dual education involves both theoretical and practical training and the acquisition of the necessary skills to work directly in the workplace. At present, my responsibilities as a young specialist of the driver of pumping units are to maintain and prepare the pumps, control their parameters, as well as control the water level at the facilities of the unit. Dual education is a real chance to get a professional education and a stable job at a modern enterprise, such as Rivne NPP "- said Vira Pidlisna.
Further development of the dual form of education is an opportunity for young professionals to acquire sound theoretical knowledge and practical skills while studying in NUWEE. Rivne NPP, as one of the largest employers in Polissya region, is interested in involving students in the training phase, especially in technical specialties.
