“Future is created today!” – said Alexey Isaykin at the end of the first stage of The Volga-Dnepr Future Leaders Training Program.

The program for the Volga-Dnepr management reserve was initiated in 2015 within the company strategic project “100 new generation executives to lead the strategy realization”. The training is being successfully realized by the Corporate University on the basis of CU professional schools, knowledge management and mentoring system.

A yearlong period was enough to foster the team of like-minded people out of the group of almost complete strangers. Some of them are ready to be the company leaders today! And this is just the beginning!

If you would like to know what is in store for you, watch a short videoreport about the first program participants.

The year 2016 promises a lot more interesting activities for the 27 first-year graduates – rotation and mentoring programs, participation in important strategic projects, exploring the new technologies such as job shadowing, etc. – everything that will help “future” leaders become “present day” leaders!

We invite you to join our friendly team of Volga-Dnepr leaders!
