Vladivostok schools launch maritime and logistics career programmes with industry backing

Two schools in Vladivostok have launched specialised classes focused on maritime and logistics careers. The initiative comes as part of a broader national push to strengthen Russia's transport and shipping sectors. Students will now receive tailored education with support from local universities and industry leaders.

The new programmes are running at School No. 11 and School No. 42, both backed by the FESCO Transportation Group. At School No. 11, tenth graders are studying logistics through real business cases and gaining firsthand experience in FESCO's offices. Meanwhile, students at School No. 42—ranging from fifth to tenth grade—are diving into advanced mathematics, maritime geography, and naval traditions, alongside first aid training.

Vladivostok State University is working closely with the logistics class at School No. 11. Similarly, Maritime State University, named after Admiral G. I. Nevelskoy, is partnering with the maritime class at School No. 42. Both schools will also host meetings between students, company specialists, and industry veterans.

These efforts align with a federal strategy to expand maritime and logistics education. Since 2020, over 200 schools across Russia—particularly in coastal areas and major transport hubs like Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Vladivostok—have introduced similar programmes. The city administration and local universities are actively supporting the initiative.

The new classes aim to prepare students for careers in logistics and maritime industries. With direct involvement from universities and transport companies, the programmes provide practical training and industry exposure. The move reflects Russia's ongoing investment in its national logistics workforce.
