Vasily Anokhin: Upper Dnieper Technological College is 60 years old

Vasily Anokhin congratulated the Verkhnedniprovsky Technological College of the Dorogobuga municipal district on the 60th anniversary of its foundation. The solemn event dedicated to the anniversary was held in the cultural center "Chemik", which is the main social partner of the educational institution from the side of PJSC "Dorogobuzh".

The history of the educational institution dates back to 1966, when technical school No. 17 was organized in the village of Verkhnedniprovsky to provide personnel for the Dorogobuzhsk Nitrogen Fertilizer Plant. Over sixty years of work, the College has trained thousands of specialists, many of whom continue to contribute to the development of the region, working at leading enterprises.

Today, more than 500 students study in a variety of areas, including chemical technology, repair of industrial equipment, maintenance of vehicles, welding, construction, as well as cook and confectionery. Significant emphasis is placed on targeted training, within which 136 students have already signed contracts with such large organizations as Dorogobuzh PJSC and Dorogobuzhkotlomash LLC. The educational process is provided by 26 teachers and masters of industrial training.

In 2025, the educational institution became the basic organization of the educational and production cluster of the chemical industry within the framework of the federal project “Professionality”. The success of students is also confirmed by high results at the annual regional championship "Professionals".

Transmitting his congratulations to the staff, students and graduates, Vasily Anokhin thanked teachers and veterans for their dedication to the profession and quality training. He also wished the technical school further growth, introduction of new educational programs and strengthening of partnerships with industrial enterprises.
