Rosneft Opens Educational Centres to Train Personnel for the Oil Industry
19 September 2025
With the support of RN-Vankor (part of Rosneft’s oil and gas production complex), a fuel and energy education and production centre has opened in Krasnoyarsk. The centre will train workers for the region’s oil and gas industry, as well as for the Vostok Oil project which is being implemented in Taimyr.
The centre has been opened as part of the federal Professionality project at the Krasnoyarsk Technical College of Welding Technologies and Energy and will train specialists in the fields of Energy Supply and Petrochemistry. The technical college has created fifteen workshops and laboratories for the new professional competencies, meeting the modern requirements of the project’s partner enterprises.
The Fuel and Energy Cluster (FEC) comprises four other vocational education institutions in the region: the polytechnic and technical colleges in Kansk; the Krasnoyarsk Assembly College; and the Taimyr College in Dudinka.
This academic year, 275 students have begun studying on the updated educational programmes offered by the Fuel and Energy Cluster. They will qualify as electricians, electrical technicians, electrical fitters, chemical compound quality control technicians, chemical analysis laboratory assistants, welders, chemical engineers and maintenance technicians specialising in control and measuring instruments and automation equipment.
In addition, since September, drivers of specialised vehicles working in the Far North have undergone training at the Transport–Logistics educational and industrial cluster. Opened by TBS-Logistics (the transport and logistics operator of the Vostok Oil project), it is based at the Krasnoyarsk Transport and Service Technical College. The cluster also includes three network technical colleges of the town of Kansk, the Yemelyanovo settlement and the Irsh settlement in the Rybinsk District.
Three hundred and fifty students have begun studying car maintenance and repair, equipment operation in extreme conditions and warehouse logistics. Six modern sites have been created for various types of work, and computer simulators and demonstration stands have been installed to show how units and assemblies work. The school has its own fleet of trucks, truck cranes and lifts to reinforce theoretical learning. This enables students to focus more on developing practical skills that will be in demand when working at oil facilities.
Last year, RN-Vankor and TBS-Logistics joined the federal Professionality project as supporting enterprises, signing an agreement with the Krasnoyarsk Territory Ministry of Education to comprehensively modernise the training system for young personnel, in order to meet the growing needs of the region’s oil and gas industry. The Vostok Oil project alone is expected to create 130,000 jobs.
Other subsidiaries of the Company operating in the Krasnoyarsk Territory have also joined the Professionality programme, including Vostsibneftegaz, Slavneft-Krasnoyarskneftegaz, the East Siberian branch of RN-Burenie, TaimyrBurService, Achinsk Oil Refinery, the Krasnoyarsk branch of RN-Service, and Sibintek.
Rosneft has allocated significant financial resources to the Professionality programme’s basic technical colleges for the renovation of premises, the creation of material resources, and the modernisation of educational spaces.
In addition to the federal project, the Krasnoyarsk Territory is implementing a regional project called ‘Professionality for All’, which involves the Demyanenko Achinsk Oil and Gas Technical College and the Krasnoyarsk Assembly College forming an oil and gas educational and industrial cluster.
The aim of creating educational and production centres is to provide young people with comprehensive, high-quality training that meets the real needs of oil and gas companies in the region looking to attract skilled workers.
For reference:
A comprehensive programme for recruiting personnel and supporting vocational and higher education institutions has been implemented in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for several years, with the aim of providing Rosneft enterprises with qualified personnel. Twelve educational institutions in the region, including the Siberian Federal University, are key partners in the project. More than 30 specialised training programmes have been developed in secondary vocational education institutions to meet the needs of the region’s oil industry.
The Federal Professionality Project is being implemented through close cooperation between vocational education institutions and industry enterprises. Educational and production clusters are being established based on colleges and technical schools. These clusters represent an association of vocational education institutions and enterprises in the real economy that are interested in providing high-quality training for workers in in-demand specialities.
