On 21 November the graduates from the Young Manager School of the Saratov Region defended their projects in the White Hall of the Government of the Saratov Region. Having studied in Saratov State University, the graduates presented eight team projects led by SSU researchers.

Chumachenko, Head of the Young Manager School of the Saratov Region in SSU, Director of the Institute of Continuing Professional Education Yurii G. Golub, and Deputy Director of the Institute of Continuing Professional Education Gennadii A. Tashpekov. Also the event was attended by local authorities, representatives of public organisations, rectors of universities, head of municipal districts, and scientific supervisors of the projects.

The first to speak was the Minister of the Region – Governor Chief of Staff Oksana V. Goryacheva. She marked that new regional and state objectives could be carried out by a new generation of managers only. And they have to work as a team so that they will be able to achieve the targeted tasks. Moreover, Oksana Goryacheva expressed her gratitude to the Government partners, namely universities which had developed modern courses for the new generation of managers. The minister wished that all of them would defend their projects successfully.

The students of the School chose important social issues concerning education, digitalization, and ecology.

The first team presented the project titled the Children Sport Training in Nursery Schools. According to it, extracurricular sport clubs will be organised in the nursery school in Vyazovka, the Tatishchev District.
