A safe path to the future: the role of simulators in career guidance for young people

We would like to express our admiration to the teachers who conduct wonderful career guidance classes for schoolchildren using simulators. Inspired by the works of the winner of the Digital Training PROduction Staff 2024 competition, we dedicate this material to them.
GAPOU "Novotroitsk Polytechnic College" under the leadership of Sergey Nikolaevich Chernyshov became the winner in the nomination "Best Practice of Involving the Young Generation".

Metallurgy, as a basic industry, offers enormous opportunities for innovation and technical progress, and career guidance in this field, supported by practical experience with simulators, helps schoolchildren understand the importance of their future profession.
Creating conditions for engaging young people in metallurgy at different levels requires organizing master classes where students can not only observe but also actively participate in the process, immersing themselves in the practical aspects of, for example, smelting steel in an electric arc furnace (see video below).

Video footage from career guidance events that use simulators is a powerful tool to inspire young people to think about their future.
Simulation training allows schoolchildren and students to gain an understanding of the specifics of working in metallurgical production conditions without being exposed to the risks associated with real processes such as smelting, casting, rolling steel, etc. This gives young people the opportunity to understand basic aspects of the job, such as temperature control, equipment operation, and product quality assessment, without immediate health risks.
Simulators help develop critical thinking and quick reaction skills, which is especially important in hazardous production conditions.

The use of simulators allows us to convey a unique experience to young people, and to form a new generation of responsible and highly qualified workers ready to work in the complex and responsible field of metallurgy.
