Arkhangelsk region for the third time will be the site of the federal stage of the competition of skills “Best in profession”

The decision was made at the meeting of the organizing committee, which also approved the list of nominations for 2027 and summed up the results of the season 2026.

The Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Anton Kotyakov stressed that the competition continues to scale: this year, regional stages were held in 83 subjects, and more than 2.1 thousand companies sent their employees - twice as many as last year.

In 2027, one of the twenty federal stages will be held in Arkhangelsk. Winners of regional selections from all over Russia will fight for the title of the best in the nomination "Clearer-assembler". The reference point will be the Arkhangelsk College of Water Highways named after S.N. Oreshkov, which trains specialists for energy, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding and ship repair and has already successfully proven itself.

Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Arkhangelsk region Igor Skubenko noted that the region actively participates in the competition, popularizing popular working professions. In previous seasons, contestants from Pomorie took second place in this nomination: Alexander Arkhipov (2025) and Ivan Teplukhin (2026). Today, Alexander Arkhipov is a member of the jury of the All-Russian stage.

According to Skubenko, holding the federal stage in Arkhangelsk is a recognition of the region’s expertise in organizing competitions of this level, and the choice of an educational organization working closely with employers helps to synchronize training with the economy of the region.

The federal stage will take place in September 2027. A business program, industrial tours, a plenary session with the participation of representatives of federal executive authorities, as well as a labor festival are planned.
