Krasnoyarsk's Big Break Helps Teens Explore Future Careers This Summer

The Krasnoyarsk Regional Employment Service has launched its Big Break career guidance campaign for the summer holidays. The initiative will help young people explore different professions and connect with potential employers. Over 1,800 volunteer career counsellors from the Your Horizons movement will support the events. The campaign will offer workplace tours, meetings with industry professionals, and aptitude testing. Participants will also receive career counselling and join discussions about future job opportunities. The focus will be on in-demand blue-collar roles, social sector positions, and emerging engineering fields.

Last year, more than 40,000 young people from Krasnoyarsk Region took part in Big Break. This time, teenagers from schools, summer camps, youth work brigades, and cultural centres will join the programme. The initiative is now part of a federal career guidance project, with Krasnoyarsk Region leading its implementation.

Earlier in the academic year, over 15,000 high school students were surveyed about their career plans. The Big Break campaign will use these findings to provide tailored support, aligning career advice with current labour market needs. The Big Break campaign will run throughout the summer, offering practical experience and direct contact with employers. Students will gain insights into professions that match regional job demands. The programme aims to help them make informed decisions about their future careers.
