A meeting was held at the Ministry of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communual Services of the Republic of Tatarstan regarding the holding of competitions in the republic on the new presentation competence “Operation and maintenance of an apartment building” developed by the Housing and Utilities Fund in accordance with international standards WorldSkills. The event was held under the leadership of Deputy Minister Ayrat Gatiyatov. As the Deputy Minister noted, today the issue of operation and maintenance of apartment buildings is relevant. “It is very important that highly qualified specialists come to the housing and utilities sector. I hope that the introduction of new competence will allow to grow professionals with extensive knowledge of the problems and mechanisms of the housing and utilities sector,” - said Ayrat Gatiyatov.
“Competence will allow participants to demonstrate their level of professional training, the ability to individually perform tasks related to the use of regulatory documents, the use of instrumentation, compliance with safety regulations, labor protection, fire safety, as well as improvement and energy saving” - Olga Grishina emphasized. Within this competence, the Housing and Public Utilities Fund plans to include one more block: work on a unique virtual simulator on the operation and maintenance of apartment buildings “ZhEKA-profi”. The simulator allows you to organize the maintenance of a conditionally taken apartment building at different stages of the life cycle, to test your knowledge in the housing and utilities sector, taking into account different levels of complexity. This simulator can be used not only by participants of the WorldSkills competition, but in the future for vocational guidance of schoolchildren and students.
