The Fund’s educational programs are a tool for rapid response to the lack of competence of specialists in companies, which manifests itself, as a rule, against the background of the introduction of innovations, during the development and market launch of a new product.
The development of technologies, production processes and, consequently, the requirements for personnel have identified the need to systematize and record in the documents those qualifications that workers need. Thus, professional standards for nanoindustry appeared. Independent assessment of qualifications and professional and public accreditation of higher education programs is carried out to determine compliance with the qualification requirements contained in the professional standards.
One of the main Fund's objectives is to create infrastructure and build the capacity for continuous additional education in the nanoindustry, the formation of “competences of the future” among schoolchildren, students and experts.
Technopreneur is a new and promising specialization, which can be obtained by enrolling in the Interuniversity Master Program for High-Tech Engineers or the online magistracy ‘Technological Entrepreneurship’ opened at MIPT in 2017.
Digital learning is steadily entering the vanguard of the additional education system. The edunano.ru and stemford.org educational platforms provide the 24/7 access to new knowledge and, above all, high-quality content in the field of advanced technologies. They contain courses and lectures for students of all ages. The youngest of them are the pupils—a promising human resource. These are future scientists, innovators, industrial managers, and engineers.
In order to get them interested in high technologies, help uncover the talents of the younger generation and teach them to live in the world of technological innovations, the Fund, with the participation of companies, scientific and educational organizations, supports the development of natural-science education in schools, holding olympiads, contests, educational and career guidance programs.
