According to Rosstat for 2021, there were about 60 thousand open vacancies for qualified workers in mechanical engineering and metalworking (this is almost 4% of all jobs in these specialties).

The problem of lack of personnel in production has been going on for more than a decade, and the issue of young personnel is especially acute. This is due to the lack of prestige of working professions, and to a serious weakening of the educational base.

In 2021, Saratovdizelapparat entered into a partnership agreement with the Saratov College of Industrial Technologies and Automotive Service. Every year, the plant is ready to admit up to 30 students (millers, locksmiths, fixers) to production practice and offer the best of them subsequent employment.

The company has successfully implemented a mentoring institute. It allows future specialists to gain real experience while still studying and master the secrets of the profession under the control of leading masters. The plant's own certification committee regularly conducts qualification slices, increases in capacity and can assign a personal stigma to workers who produce products without scrap. And, perhaps, the main advantage noted by graduates who remained to work for Saratovdizelapparat is the opportunity to be involved in the production of modern and high-tech products in demand by the country's leading enterprises.
