The decision to extend the deadline for the selection of education practices on "Advanced Technologies for Professional Training" and add two more nominations was made at the request of the profile community. This was announced by the Director of the Center for Initiatives of the Young Professionals Direction at ASI Zhanna Kadyleva.

"During the selection, we were approached by the professional community of creative industries and tourism. They expressed confidence that the selection can become more diverse if additional practices were added. We supported this idea and included two special nominations," Zhanna Kadyleva said.

The deadline for submitting applications has been extended until July 25, and the following topics related to the creative industries and the tourism industry have been added to the existing 9 nominations:

— "New Competencies for Creative Industries": practices related to the training of specialists and teams working at companies or enterprises of creative areas, such as design, architecture, film, TV, animation, performing and visual arts, and others.

— "Personnel for the Tourism Industry": training practices for the tourism industry that create and maintain tourist facilities and services to satisfy today's consumer needs, and practices that provide new competencies and methods in training specialists, training personnel with business.

The partners of "New Competencies for Creative Industries" were the ASI Center for Quality of Life Practices and the National Open Championship of Creative Competencies "ArtMasters". Partners in "Personnel for the Tourism Industry" include the ASI Center for the Development of Tourism, Environment and Climate.
