Russian Ministry of Digital Development announces the start of submitting applications for participation in the Digital Professions project, under which it is possible to receive additional professional education with financial support of the state. In 2021, at least 25,000 Russian citizens will master digital competencies.
Citizens of working age with at least secondary vocational education can take part in the Digital Professions project. The training takes place online and is available to residents of all regions of Russia. To participate in the project, it is necessary to submit an application by the end of the year and pay 50 per cent of the cost of the training; the second half of the training cost will be paid by the state.
Registration of citizens is open on the project website profidigital.ru. After creating a personal account, the recommendation service will inform you which courses are more suitable for the user's request. Registration for training will become available to registered participants after July 15 in the "Programme Catalog" section.
