“Magic word” for employers - experience of IIBS NITU “MISiS”
If you believe the portal HH.ru, then experts on Big Data, complex information systems, other IT solutions architects and PLM consultants are today among the most enviable suitors. Sorry, sought-after and highly paid professionals. Big Data Engineers, for example, receive from 150,000 rubles in positions that require experience from 3 years, and up to 450,000 rubles in leadership positions in Moscow, and a half to two times higher abroad.
Meanwhile, the real situation with these specialists in the market is somewhat more complicated. Approximately as with economists: Russian universities for decades produce them every year, not only in commercial quantities, in wholesale quantities, but at the same time any really competent and professional economist is a potential Kozlevich, who will sooner or later come to fool and poach.
So it is with Big Data specialists. Today, many institutions are preparing them, but at the same time finding a competent specialist in the market is another quest!

NITU "MISiS" is also now receiving documents for the master's program "Ecosystems of Big Data for Digital Transformation". Only students studying there, like all students of the Institute of Information Business Systems (IIPS NITU MISiS), are usually employed by the end of the first year of study.
Why it happens? Why do headhunters immediately hunt on some graduates, while others communicate with employment specialists - and with all the proximity of these professions, the difference is fundamental. What kind of “magic word” does the IIPS management know, which has such a magical effect on employers?
For the answer to this question, we went to the director of the institute, Marina Igorevna Nezhurina, so that she would tell the geeks about the educational strategy of her institute and share information about the rather unique case study of the IIBS.
- Probably, the fact is that from the very beginning we placed the main emphasis on practical activity. In general, our institute was organized within the framework of a cooperation agreement between NITU “MISiS” and well-known IT companies IBS and Borlas as a model of public-private partnership of business and education for training in the magistracy personnel elite specialists in the field of information systems and information technologies .
Therefore, our customer is connected to the training of specialists at the stage of student recruitment and the entire educational period is actively involved in the educational process.
We are not scattered, we have only two master programs - “Implementation of complex information systems based on integration IT solutions” and “Ecosystem of big data for digital transformation” , but we are preparing really good specialists in these areas. By the way, the IBS graduate model at the Institute of Advanced Information of the NIS “MISiS” NITU is recognized as a benchmarking model of a public-private partnership between an advanced university and a business customer, both in the educational and business communities.
The educational trajectory consists of three blocks: system-wide, specialized and practical. The first semester is devoted to the development of the "foundation" for the further meaningful choice of specialization. Basic courses such as “Business Architecture”, “Project Management in a Modern Company”, “Architecture of Modern Data Warehouses”, “Management of Digital Innovations” are held, special heads of mathematics and programming for working with big data are taught.
In the second semester, an in-depth study of specialization begins, either in the field of big data engineering, or in the field of big data analytics, a greater bias is made in mathematics and Machine Learning (machine learning). After that, students are immersed in real practice, and only project activities begin.
It is noteworthy that they set tasks for educational projects, advise student teams and carry out the acceptance of work results by real project managers and leading experts from large IT companies.
And the students write the master's theses on real projects of companies, where the guys do internships and internships under the guidance of mentors in companies and research managers from the departments of the institute. And often their design decisions are implemented in the actual processes of customers, and the guys receive the Implementation Acts.
Actually, it is always better to explain with an example. To make it clear what this is about, I’ll just give a few names of recent master's theses:
As I have already said, business partners are deeply involved in all stages of the educational process. For example, the president of Borlas and the deputy general director of IBS are the heads of the basic departments of our institute.
I think it is clear what exactly this gives the learner: an order from business for the employment of students and graduates of master's programs, platforms for working out design solutions, virtual capacities for laboratory and practical work, real business cases from various sectors of the economy, such as retail, HR , financial sphere, metallurgy, as well as the full cycle - a survey and description of business processes, reengineering, collecting and analyzing big data (Big Data), building predictive models. At the same time, the best students from the project teams are hired into the company staff, and an important aspect for the student is that the work of students in practice and internship in projects is well paid.
Therefore, at the output we have a specialist trained in modern methodologies, approaches and technologies with at least a year experience.
Employment after graduation in all 11 years of the institute’s existence is 100%. And our graduates work in the largest Russian and foreign companies (IBS, Borlas, IT Co., SAP CIS, SaaS, BearingPoint, etc.) in key positions. One of them - in general, is now the deputy mayor of Nizhny Novgorod for IT.
Meanwhile, the real situation with these specialists in the market is somewhat more complicated. Approximately as with economists: Russian universities for decades produce them every year, not only in commercial quantities, in wholesale quantities, but at the same time any really competent and professional economist is a potential Kozlevich, who will sooner or later come to fool and poach.
