The Center for Welding Technologies in Mari El, Suslonger village, hosted an Open Day for college students from Yoshkar-Ola, Volzhsk and Zvenigovo. During the tour, students learned about advanced welding technologies, and after a master class from ESAB specialists, they tried their hand at the competition.
Also during the event, a meeting was held with the head of the technological department of the Kamaz-Motorsport team, Vyacheslav Mizyukayev. The participants were told how the Kamaz-Master team trains and what role welding plays in the preparation of rally trucks.
According to Vyacheslav, such a technical sport as auto racing requires that the driver is able not only to drive the car, but also to "take care" of it. "For this reason, in karting, we teach children not only how to drive, but also how to fix their cards. Even 10 years ago, the KAMAZ frame was riveted, and now it is fully welded-designs and technologies are developing and competent welding specialists are always needed, " he added.
The event was attended by more than 30 students and teachers from the Mari Radio-Mechanical Technical School, the Volga State Technological University and the Construction and Industrial Technical School (Yoshkar-Ola), as well as the Construction and Industrial College (Volzhsk) and the Transport and Energy Technical School (Zvenigovo).
During the competition, the students were given the task of welding an angular (T-shaped) joint, and ESAB specialists note that the contestants coped with it perfectly. All participants received memorable gifts from the company – gold rutile electrodes GoldRox, from the latest generation of the iconic electrodes OK 46.00.
"The Open Day is a great opportunity for future specialists to try themselves on modern high-quality welding equipment, get feedback from professionals and learn from their experience. We hope that not only the students, but also their teachers and mentors were able to see something new for themselves and in the future they will return to the Center for new knowledge and skills, " commented Artem Alimov, General Director of Mari 3D Technologies.
Managing Director of ESAB Russia and CIS, Dmitry Kuraksa noted:
"By investing in the education of the younger generation and improving the skills of working professionals, we make a long-term investment not just in the development of the company, but in new opportunities for industry and the economy. It is important for us to introduce future welders to the equipment and technologies that they will work on in the future."
The Center for Welding Technologies was opened in September last year by the company "Mari 3D Technologies" with the support of ESAB and the district administration, and is the only modern training space in the region, whose tasks include training specialists in various types of professional activities in the field of welding production, including competencies for working with robotic complexes. The center is designed to create conditions for professional development and training of specialists from the Republics of Mari El, Tatarstan and Chuvashia.
