FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE
KNOWLEDGE – SKILLS – COMPETENCE
Enterprise practice for high educational institutio is an attempt to connect theoretical preparedness with formation of student’s practical skills for simplifying their appearance on the labor market. It is an attempt to get feedback from the companies and organizations which accept students for practice. The practice shows quality of education and it is an opportunity to get additional information about the problems a student should work at to conform to modern requirements of the labor market. This is the way one should refer to the practice.
The practice as a component of basic educational program and as a kind of academic work is directed to strengthening of theoretical and practical knowledge,received by the students in the process of education; gaining and perfection of practical skills of the chosen specialty.
The most active enterprises which provide our university’s students with practice are Amursky Shipbuilding Plant, Komsomolsk-na-Amure Aviation Plant, Amurmetal, Askold (Arsenyev, Primorsky krai), Rosneft – Komsomolsky Oil Refining Plant, Rosneft-Eastoilproduct, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company which can accept about 2000 students per year for various kinds of practice.
The main purpose of enterprise practice is formation of the idea of future professional activity, usage of modern technologies in the chosen profession, collection of the necessary information for writing a practice report and preparedness of projects and degree works.
Enterprises of various organizational and legal forms, banking structure, tax inspection, insurance companies respond to the request of the University to take students on the production or pre-graduation practice. There are agreements with the administrations municipalities and administration of Komsomolsk-na-Amure.

organizations of Komsomolsk-na-Amure and Khabarovsk, as well as Arseniev, Viluchinsk, Nikolaevsk-na-Amure, and the settlement Vanino. Often students are successfully practicing in Saint-Petersburg.
