MEETING THE CANDIDATES: EDUCATION + REAL PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Today, we would like to introduce you to Mykhailo Lazarenko — a Master’s degree student in the “Computer-Integrated Technological Systems” (CITS) educational program, pursuing dual education at the NDITG branch of JSC “Ukrtransgaz” in Kharkiv.
💡 Dual education is an opportunity not only to gain fundamental theoretical knowledge at the university, but also to simultaneously immerse oneself in real professional tasks at the enterprise. It is precisely this format that allows students to develop practical competencies, work with modern technologies, and better understand the requirements of real-world production while still studying.
👨💻 Mykhailo’s professional focus is directly linked to the professional competencies of the CITS educational program.
As part of his work at the enterprise, Mykhailo is engaged in:
🔹 programming industrial controllers;
🔹 creating and configuring HMI in the TIA Portal environment;
🔹 mastering practical approaches to building and configuring automation systems;
🔹 planning to get involved in electrical circuit design in the future.
These are precisely the professional skills that are extremely important for a modern specialist in automation, computer-integrated technologies, industrial control systems, and robotics.
🤝 An important component of dual education is professional mentorship.
Mykhailo’s mentor from the enterprise is Oleksii Anatoliiovych Yelisieiev, Head of the Automation and Telemechanics Systems Support Department under the Department of Development, Design, and Scientific-Technical Support for Automation, Dispatching, and Metrology Systems.
📍 Division: Automation and Telemechanics Systems Support Department under the Department of Development, Design, and Scientific-Technical Support for Automation, Dispatching, and Metrology Systems.
✨ It is especially valuable that Mykhailo’s learning takes place directly in a professional environment, where knowledge of controller programming, HMI, automation, and design gradually translates into real practical competencies.
This approach is a great example of how university education and the needs of a modern enterprise can work hand in hand. The student gets the opportunity to define their professional path while still studying, gain experience working with industrial systems, and build skills that are in high demand in the job market.
🚀 This is exactly how we see modern dual education: learning, practice, mentorship, and real professional challenges.
We wish Mykhailo success in his studies, professional development, interesting projects, and new achievements! May the acquired experience become a strong foundation for a successful career in automation and computer-integrated technologies.
