Russia's bold career guidance overhaul starts in Magadan by 2026
A new career guidance system is taking shape in Russia, with the Magadan Region leading early efforts. By 2026, at least 70% of students in grades 6–11 must register on the national platform, rising to full participation by 2030. The changes follow a push to better connect education with local job markets. The shift began with a meeting in Magadan, where Deputy Governor Tatiana Savchenko discussed career guidance and youth employment. Three Russian ministries had already developed Methodological Guidelines for Career Guidance and Youth Employment Routing. These guidelines aim to build the country’s first unified system, supporting students from sixth grade until they enter the workforce.
In practice, the Magadan Region’s Employment Center has started rolling out a new model. A project team was formed, and agreements were signed with schools and colleges. The region’s Center for Advanced Vocational Training now operates the *Ticket to the Future* career guidance programme. By 2026, the *Russia—My Horizons* curriculum will dedicate half its content to professions in demand locally. That year, students took part in career classes, work trials, and site visits to employers and vocational schools. The *Youth Vector* club also launched in April, while the *Rabota v Rossii* portal began offering career guidance and job-matching services. To ensure smooth transitions, each region is setting up an interagency working group. These teams will coordinate support as students move from education to employment.
The changes mean more students will engage with career planning earlier. Schools, employers, and government bodies are now linked through a structured system. The goal is to match young people with jobs that fit regional needs by the end of the decade.
