The future agricultural workforce begins to develop long before college or university. Early childhood is when an interest in technology, research, nature and productive work takes root.

AGROgroups enable agribusinesses to engage with the next generation of professionals from the earliest stage, presenting a modern image of the industry and building lasting interest in agricultural careers.

This creates a long-term regional pathway: kindergarten → agrotechnology classroom → college or university → agribusiness.

Companies can help build their future talent pool today, rather than compete for specialists in 10–15 years.

At school, an early interest can become an informed career choice. Agrotechnology classrooms help companies introduce future professionals to modern technologies, production and agricultural careers.

They provide training tailored to a company’s workforce needs, creating a pathway from first practical experience through education to employment.

Companies can prepare motivated future specialists in advance, rather than wait until they graduate.

A partnership in practice
Permsky Greenhouse Complex and School No. 5 in Chusovoy offer a practical example: graduates take internships, and some combine college studies with work at the company.

Modern agriculture needs a wide range of skills, and career exploration should be accessible to every child.

Adapted learning spaces help students with special educational needs work with plants and equipment, take part in projects and discover agricultural careers.

Companies can broaden their future talent pool, support inclusive education and create real career pathways for children with special educational needs.

Regional partnerships connect education, practical work skills and vocational learning.

College and university training should be closely connected to real production. AGROspaces allow companies to work with future specialists before graduation, developing skills aligned with the needs of modern agriculture.

The space combines learning, research and practice. Students explore modern technologies, participate in projects and gain practical experience.

Companies can train specialists for their own workforce needs, identify talented students and build a future talent pool.
