As part of the business program of the World Construction Championship, which included over 200 events, an educational track was held for youth activists and educational organizations supervised by Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation. It was organized by the Corporate Academy of Rosatom. More than 80 people took part in the event: foreign and Russian students, construction teams’ leaders, and Rosatom juniors. Based on the results of the events, the youth activists developed the manifesto named “Constructors of the New Time”. The document reflected the collective point of view on what should be the vectors of development of the architectural and construction industry in Russia, including development of youth construction communities to unlock the potential of students. The manifesto was presented to Mr. Alexander Lomakin, the First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities of the Russian Federation, Mr. Mikhail Kiselev, the Chairman of the Board of the Russian Student Teams, and Ms. Yulia Uzhakina, the General Director of the Corporate Academy of Rosatom. 

The Engineering Division held a session named “Megaprojects: from personnel training to team building”. The session discussed popularization of construction and working professions, development of a mentoring system, an integrated personnel training system, tools for involvement of personnel to the construction industry, introduction of modern VR-technologies in the training of non-destructive testing specialists, and the use of digital technologies in design.   

In addition, Rosatom’s Engineering Division presented its stand within the exhibition space of the Championship, which informed the visitors about the company's activities and human resources potential, as well as about Multi-D technology allowing managing the life cycle of any complex engineering objects.

The event finished with a release on the city, which will host the World Construction Championship V. It will be Nizhny Novgorod.
