The Kazan Helicopters of the Russian Helicopters Holding (part of the Rostec Corporation) summed up the results of the professional skill contest for the “Best in Profession” title. A total of 30 participants fought for the honorary title, their work was evaluated by 21 experts.
The contest was held in six skills, such as Aircraft Assembly, Labour Protection, Process Engineer, Aircraft Electrical Wiring, Manufacturing Team Challenge, and Electrical Installations. The youngest of the skills is the Labour Protection; it was attended by engineering and technical personnel who are responsible for labour protection activities in their units.
Participation in the professional skills contest is not only an opportunity to improve professional skills, but also to work one’s way up. The one who wins a prize is automatically assigned the next qualifying category, if there is a corresponding vacant staffing position. If there is none yet, then the holder of the Best in Profession title becomes the first applicant for promotion.
The in-house Best in Profession contest is a qualifying stage for many professional skills competitions, including city, republic’s and WorldSkills and WorldSkills Hi-Tech contests. In 2020, the Kazan Helicopters team took the 1st place in the Life Cycle Management skill at the 5th Corporate Professional Skills Contest of the Russian Helicopters Holding and the 2nd place in the RostecSkills contest.
