The message reads, in part:

“My greetings to you on the opening the XIII National Forum of Young Professionals inPerm, the City of Labour Valour.

Your traditional gathering has brought together talented, efficient and responsible young men and women who work in industry and agriculture, housing and utility sector, construction, energy and transport as well as in other areas crucial for the country. The key is that you are united by a sincere wish to acquire new knowledge, skills and competences, to become the best in their professions and do good for Russia.

I should note that the state pays priority attention to improving the quality of training engineers and workers. The demand for such professions is growing and their public prestige is increasing. Specialised secondary schools are being upgraded, modern educational standards are being developed, and much is being done to establish partnership links between colleges, vocational schools and enterprises, tailor training programmes to the needs of the economy, including high technology production facilities and industries of the future.

I firmly believe that the forum will be held in a creative and constructive vein and will offer you an excellent opportunity to discuss your promising projects and initiatives with prominent experts and major companies.”
