Development of Continued Education Programme for EU Enterprises in Kostomuksha (CEPEK)

The two year long CEPEK-project, which is financed from the European Union's Tacis programme, supports the European enterprises operating in the city of Kostamuksha. Several western companies have established their facilities in the area, but the question of skilled labour is causing problems for many of them. One way, how the companies can face these challenges, is to retrain their workers, offer them continued education.

The goal of the project is to establish a continued education programme at the Kostomuksha Branch of PetrSU. The project will be carried out in cooperation with Finnish experts and teachers from the Petrozavodsk State University and the Kostamuksha Branch of PetrSU. First of all, the aim is to update the knowledges of the participating Russian teachers about the modern western business concepts. Then the teachers, together with their Finnish collagues, will plan and test the programme in practice. Workers of the OOO AEK and OOO Elektrokos, Russian affiliates of the PKC Group, will take part in this education, which forms the second part of the project. Lectures will be given on general economy and economic theory, production management and planning, business culture and work community.

The general aim of the project is to improve the possibilities of the western companies to operate in the Kostomuksha area. With the establishement of a continued education programme, the area has a modern, tested, educational tool at its disposal, which will increase competence of the workers and will benefit the companies  and the society at large. The area will attract new investments, as the companies are able to retrain their workers. The role of the Kostomuksha branch of PetrSU will be strengthened, the branch will serve the needs of the local business life and society to a greater degree.
