The nearest Association’s works are of an organizational nature: a 10-day period is planned to develop the program, to define the administrative group and to develop a symbol. Further to the work of the Association will actively engage enterprises of the republic and lead project work with schoolchildren.
Creation of such structure is due to the need to improve the level of general training of young personnel for the republic enterprises and the development of youth projects. “It is important not to select the best students, but to create an environment in which they will be able to open up”, - said the rector of KNITU German Dyakonov.
