The training of the veterans of the Northern Military District is aimed at their adaptation to civilian life, mastering a new profession, finding a job or starting their own business. The support for choosing a new direction is provided by the "Defenders of the Homeland" state fund, educational organizations and entrepreneurship development centers.
In the Republic of Mary El, more than 30 veterans of the Northern Military District are receiving higher education. Three more took additional training courses at the N.E. State Technical University. Trained in Moscow, two of them entered the Kazan National Research Technical University in the field of aircraft engineering.
"The course is good. The program is structured so that you can study at a convenient time, receive information on disciplinary issues and take part in conversations with teachers," said Sergei Okhotin, a veteran of the Northern Military District.
A veteran of the Northern Military District of Khabarovsk Territory, Alexander Zabulotsky, was trained as part of the "Agricultural School" educational project and is developing his business in agriculture. Before SVO, he tried his hand at farming and grew strawberries. After returning to a peaceful life, he decided to resume work in the industry. Today he masters the control of agricultural UAVs, which can be used to monitor crops and treat crops.
"As agricultural UAVs will be useful: the future belongs to technology. Spraying fertilizers, inspecting fields - you can't do everything with your feet," shares Alexander.
In the Penza region, veterans are also given assistance in preparing to open their own business. The regional branch of the fund hosted the first class of the "Entrepreneurship Trip" course, organized by the "My Business" center. Participants will learn about the procedure for registering a sole proprietor, LLC or independent registration, and will receive accounting and legal support. At the end of the course they will prepare business plans themselves and will be able to apply for a social contract.
"Such training is simply necessary in order not to make mistakes when starting a business.
