Alabuga Start is a great opportunity to experience life in Russia and immerse in Russian culture. I’ve made a lot of new acquaintances here, and it helps me to adapt to the new culture and pace of life.

The Program taught me to be more hardworking and independent since I’m living on my own. I am planning to enter the school and continue my education after the Program.

The program gives me an opportunity to expand my professional competences. I have the chance to practice what I learn and acquire extra knowledge about a lot of things.

One of the challenges that I have encountered here was a language barrier, but I’m working on overcoming it. I think that every participant should be well-prepared for tackling challenges.

The best part of «Alabuga start» program is the opportunity to constantly learn how to be independent and grow.

In order to talk about the future in Russia, I set my own goals in this program. Goals support permanent promotions so that I can reach my goal, which is to advance through the ranks in the program and become a reliable person at work. Since the program supports foreigners in all financial, cultural and material aspects, I will be pleased to continue to improve and achieve success in this program.

Work is an important part of the program, and I learned many things from it in the following aspects: discipline, the responsibility and teamwork.

Following the rules and completing them correctly and the words of the group leader is an important matter in the work and determines your path.
