The The Profession+ Career Navigator program is targeted to people of all ages, choosing their professional field and developing personal projects. The program is implemented by ANO “Ekspertno-diagnosticheskaya laboratoriya” (Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan).

The program’s target audience consists of 4 groups:

High school and trade school students;
University and college students;
People experiencing professional crisis;
People who decided they should develop their personal projects.

The key difference between “Profession+” procedures intended for different target groups is that they change and adapt teaching methods depending on the participants’ age (the basics of career guidance are different when it is intended for school students, university or college students, or adults).

There’s no pre-selection for the program - anyone sign up and go through our first (Diagnostics) module. Further training depends, first and foremost, on the participant’s own needs and desires, but also on the diagnostics results.

The Profession+ Career Navigator program participation can be paid for, or free, for example, when the program is run on a grant or sponsorship money. The average program participation cost for one person is RUB 210,000-230,000.
