All-Russian campaign “Week without turnstiles”
As part of the All-Russian campaign “Week without Turnstiles”, career guidance events were organized and held in the department of a social shelter for children and adolescents from October 15 to 21. Having already become traditional, the action has been held since 2015 by the Russian Mechanical Engineers Union twice a year: in the third week of April and the third week of October.
The purpose of the event is to form a system of early career guidance for children. “Week Without Turnstiles” is a set of events aimed at directly introducing children and their parents to the work of enterprises located in their region.
The following activities were carried out with the students of the department:
- Excursion to Pestovokhleb LLC. Children had a unique opportunity to see with their own eyes where and how bread is made, where and how delicious bakery products are baked: loaves, long loaves, loaves, braids, buns, bagels. Pestovokhleb employees showed and told the children the whole process of baking bread. The children got acquainted not only with the technological process of baking bread, but also with the work of all the Pestovokhleb employees.
- The design exhibition “Young Designer” was organized. The joint creativity of children in making models using different construction sets combined elements of play with experimentation, which undoubtedly develops children’s design abilities and technical thinking.
- An exhibition of drawings “My future profession” was organized. During the preparatory work, preschool children, with the help of teachers, played role-playing games based on existing knowledge about professions. It was very interesting to talk with the children about who they see themselves in the future, what profession they will choose and how they will draw.
- Diagnostic testing was carried out for school-age children for professional self-determination and a conversation on the topic “I want, I can, I must - the components of success.”
- A quiz “Inventors of our country” was held, during which children expanded their understanding of inventors and enriched their knowledge about the world of discoveries and inventions.
- The children attended a virtual excursion “Mechanical Engineering”. The teacher introduced the children to a complex of heavy industries and the main areas of mechanical engineering.
- The week-long event ended with a screening of the film Quantorium. Children learned that Quantorium children's technology parks are sites equipped with high-tech equipment aimed at training new highly qualified engineering personnel, developing, testing and introducing innovative technologies and ideas.
From 15 to 21 October 2018 In the regions of Russia, the second autumn All-Russian campaign “Week without turnstiles” will be held this year. The organizers of the event are the Union of Mechanical Engineers of Russia and the Ruselectronics holding, with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh).
“Week Without Turnstiles” is a set of events aimed at providing career guidance information about the activities of leading Russian enterprises and popularizing engineering specialties and blue-collar professions. The purpose of the event is to tell about the work of enterprises in the mechanical engineering industry, about which professions are promising and most in demand in the labor market. The key event of the campaign is to conduct excursions to industrial production facilities for students of educational institutions, applicants and students of technical universities so that they can become familiar with the progress of the production process directly at the enterprises.
The “Week without turnstiles” campaign is traditionally held 2 times a year – in the 3rd week of April and the 3rd week of October.

This action was organized for these purposes, and its success perfectly demonstrates the demand for such events.”
In his commentary, Director for External Communications of Ruselectronics JSC, Member of the Board of the Union of Mechanical Engineers of Russia Arseniy Brykin noted: “Continuing the successful replication of best practices and initiatives locally, we, as the organizers of the action, are pleased that the integration of regional, educational and corporate practices is taking place as part of the implementation of youth policy. Visiting existing enterprises, communicating with professionals, direct access to valuable information about in-demand specialties, making decisions about internships or internships - all this is a step towards a future career.”
