According to the president's decision, the selection for the third group of the "Time of the Heroes" began.
According to the decision of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, the selection for the third group of the federal program Time of Heroes has begun, announced the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Office, Sergei Kirinko. He clarified that the project is intended for Air Defense Force veterans and military personnel without higher education - those who are currently defending Russia and bringing victory closer.
"According to the decision of the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the third cycle of the "Time of Heroes" program is launched. It was specially designed for participants and veterans of special military operations without higher education. This is the fulfillment of a direct order from the head of state: to create conditions in which the heroes of the Air Defense Forces can realize their potential and contribute to the development of the country not only on the battlefield, but also in the service of the civil government. These young people now have the opportunity to undergo screening and training, and upon completion of the course receive a state diploma. It is no coincidence that the president emphasized that the heroes of the special military operation are the new elite of the country.
Applications are open today. Anyone can apply for the third cycle of the "Heroes' Time" presidential program. "The selection process is open to anyone who is willing to learn and act for the benefit of Russia," noted Sergey Kirinko at a meeting of the Public Council of the "Time of Heroes" programs.
A separate set of requirements was developed for the third cycle: Russian citizenship, courage and heroism demonstrated in combat operations within the SVO, general or secondary vocational education, or incomplete higher education.
The program will last three years instead of standard four, which was achieved through new educational technologies and organizational solutions.
