Improving the methods of training specialists in the sphere of construction and utilities (on the example of the Volgograd region)

Abstract

The existing methods of training engineering personnel in the sphere of road, power, utility machines and other special equipment do not take into account the changed realities of the national economy. For maintenance engineers it is now not enough to know the basics of the operation of machines and mechanisms, it is necessary to have management skills. The operator should study not only the technical characteristics of the equipment, but also the principles of pricing for utility services, the basics of tariff regulation, the methodology for calculating tariffs and the cost of utility services. Therefore, the development of practical management skills in the housing and utilities sector, the study of the fundamentals of accounting and tax reporting, estimated rationing and legal training are becoming a modern addition to the classical training of specialists - operators of the construction and utilities sectors.
