Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova addressed members of the Russian Student Brigades with a video greeting.
Dear friends!
Today is a significant day for the Russian Student Brigades. Exactly 10 years ago, President Vladimir Putin established the Day of the Russian Student Brigades, underscoring the importance of the RSB’s in Russian history.
You are the main labor movement of our country. Your ranks include worthy young people ready to work for the good of the Motherland in any circumstances, contributing to its development. Last year alone, 400,000 young people tried their hand at various professions and took their first steps in their careers, providing personnel for leading industries.
On this day, you are once again fulfilling an important mission. Career forums titled "Work is Cool" have been organized in 82 regions of our vast country. These forums allow schoolchildren and students to meet and interact, with 70,000 young people finding their first job or internship.
Today, we are launching the application process for educational institutions to receive grants for professional training of student brigade members. In 2025, 46,000 participants from across the country will receive free training. The competitive selection for international, national, and interregional labor projects of the RSB also begins today.
As tradition dictates, the career forum includes participation from employees of major Russian companies, successful entrepreneurs, and specialists. This once again highlights the importance of the youth movement. Thanks to you, significant transformations are taking place in the country as you are the main participants in the largest and most strategic construction projects.
I express my gratitude to the leadership of the Russian Student Brigades, all movement participants, and everyone who is ready to work for the well-being of the country and its citizens. You are the pride of Russia, an example of hard work and incredible resilience. Only forward! Work is cool!
