Employment

The Development Strategy of the Igor Sikorsky KPI indicates that the involvement of employers and their implementation in the educational process is mandatory. Universities invites employers to participate in the Job Fair. Companies interested in employing specialists are presented at the Fair. At the Igor Sikorsky KPI there are: meetings of applicants with graduates who are already working and are interested in cooperation with representatives from organizations; various forums and meetings with representatives of foreign organizations and associations. Such meetings provide an opportunity for better understanding the needs of employers regarding the competencies of graduates and their opportunities for future employment, and graduates of higher education institutions also provide useful advice.

The university has the department of practice and employment, which monitors and sums up the employment of graduates; prepares statistical information, which is analyzed at the meetings of the Methodological and Scientific Councils of the University. KPI has the Centre of Career Development, which graduates can contact with current job offers.
