Rosatom’s IT School Becomes a Talent Engine for Russia’s Nuclear Industry
Instead of competing for tech talent, the state corporation is training its own specialists — and it’s paying off.
Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom has built a self-sustaining pipeline of tech professionals through its in-house IT School, choosing to develop specialists rather than compete for them on the open market. The strategy has already produced tangible results: more than 2,000 employees have completed the program, and one in three graduates has since advanced in their careers.
Learning by Solving Real Problems
The curriculum focuses on practical, sector-specific challenges in nuclear technology and digital transformation. Participants work with domestic software, explore AI development, and tackle real-world projects under the guidance of industry experts.
Rosatom’s IT School has earned national recognition, receiving a Crystal Pyramid Award as a finalist in the Corporate Training of the Year category — a nod to how state-backed innovation can accelerate workforce development in one of Russia’s most high-tech industries.
