Beginning of Document Submissions in Yakutika
In a significant move to streamline the admission process for prospective students, Yakutia, a region in Russia, hosted its first-ever unified day of document submission for colleges and technical schools on August 8, 2023. Known as "ProfiMarshrut: Career Start," this event aims to simplify and centralise the application process, reduce confusion, and improve accessibility for students starting their careers.
The event, which took place at Friendship of Peoples Square in Yakutsk, offered a unique opportunity for applicants to apply to multiple institutions at once without needing to navigate separate submission dates. Over 30 professional educational institutions from Yakutsk, Zhatai, and other regions were represented, providing a wide range of options for prospective students.
Participating institutions included regional colleges offering technical and vocational education, technical schools focused on industry-relevant training, and institutions specialising in fields such as engineering, healthcare, agriculture, IT, and education. Notable institutions like the Yakutsk College of Technology and Service, Yakutsk Medical College, Yakutsk Pedagogical College, and Yakutsk Forestry Technical School were among those represented.
To participate, prospective students were required to prepare and gather necessary documents, including application forms, educational certificates, identification, a passport, SНИЛS, medical certificate, and a 3x4 cm photograph. Applicants had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with educational programs, undergo professional testing (specific details were not provided), consult with admissions committee specialists, and submit their documents.
For the 2025-2026 academic year, 6,148 budgeted spots for secondary professional education programs have been allocated in Yakutia across colleges and technical schools located in Tattinsky, Churapchinsky, Suntarsky, Nyurbinsky, Vilyuisky, Verkhnevilyuisky, and Namsky districts. As of today, over 22,000 school graduates have submitted more than 37,000 applications to these institutions.
Lilya Ivanova, Director of the Institute for the Development of Professional Education in Yakutia, expressed her hope that the event would attract many prospective students. No specific information about the number of attendees at the "ProfiMarshrut: Career Start" event was provided.
