The Journey from Student to SEZ CEO: How “Business Breakfasts” Prove That Dreams Work

An unusual breakfast was held at the N.E. Zhukovsky Omsk Aviation College. Viktor Sobolev, an Omaviat graduate and today’s CEO of the Avangard SEZ, dropped by to visit the students.

The meeting was part of the “Business Breakfasts with Professional Ambassadors ‘We Are PROS!'” project, and the conversation was compelling.

Viktor Yuryevich shared his secret to success:

“For me, college became the foundation on which my career has grown. It’s important for today’s students to understand: your professional path begins not after you graduate, but here and now. The key is to take advantage of all the opportunities for growth that college provides.”

They discussed not only career paths but also a pressing issue: residents of the Avangard SEZ need personnel for their new factories. Omaviat offers training in a wide range of specialties in demand by industrial enterprises. And the Avangard SEZ is counting on cooperation in addressing the residents’ personnel needs.
