University and Enterprise Cooperation—Effective Solution in the Digital Economy

Abstract

The article considers the improvement of the system of education and training of qualified personnel in the conditions of digitalization of society, which today covers all fields of life. As an effective solution to this problem, such a form of interaction as cooperation between a university and enterprises is being proposed. The active interaction of the enterprise and the university will significantly reduce the costs of training specialists, but at the same time significantly improve the quality, since it will be possible not only to take into account the needs of a particular enterprise, but also to conduct the training process on advanced, unique modern equipment. A positive example of such cooperation is the experience of cooperation between universities and enterprises in the design and implementation of an interdisciplinary export-oriented advanced educational program of higher education 05.03.01 Geology, profile “Oil and gas geology and geophysics” using a network form of the educational process. The project is implemented by three entities: the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Higher Education “Ufa State Oil Technical University” together with scientists and teachers of the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “Novosibirsk National Research State University,” included in the TOP-200 of subject global ratings, and production partner—joint-stock company “Bashneftegeofisika”, an advanced enterprise of the Russian oilfield service industry, which has more than 80 years of experience in prospecting for oil and gas in any geological and natural conditions using methods of seismic exploration and geophysical research of wells. As a result of the cooperation, the parties managed to create a unique program, according to which the training will make it possible to form a comprehensive specialist—a geologist-geophysicist, who professionally knows both the skills of processing and interpreting seismic data in the oil and gas industry, and the knowledge and competencies of a geologist-oil scientist.
