How can a university introduce advanced forms of training for career development? How can students get a chance to be employed by a forward-looking company even before graduation? How can leading universities implement new professional orientation programs? A unique platform for finding answers to all these questions were offered by the All-Russian Student Forum "Career +", which was first held in Nizhni Novgorod on October 5-7, 2016. The Forum was organized by Lobachevsky University with the support of the Federal Agency for Youth, the Council of Rectors of the Nizhni Novgorod region and the Volga Federal District.

For the first time, the venue for the forum was provided by the Volga-Vyatka Branch of the State Center for Modern Art at the Arsenal in the Nizhni Novgorod Kremlin. On October 5, special tours were organized for delegations of Russian students, and on October 6, several key modules of the forum were held for 500 students from the Nizhni Novgorod region and 24 universities of the Russian Federation. Forum participants also included representatives of Russian universities, experts in the field of recruitment, career planning and personal development, as well as business coaches. This year's "Career +" forum was focused on the development of professional competencies,  an important aspect of students' self-realization.


One of the Forum's key modules was the business game "Success Trajectory" organized by the Career Center of Lobachevsky University. In this game, 191 students selected by employers after the preliminary round had a chance to try on the role of being an employee of some leading companies of the Nizhni Novgorod region.
