' professional development it is only 33% of them who work within theirspecialization. And yet, labor productivity in Russia as a whole is 10 times lower than in the leadingcountries, and its share in the world trade is slightly more than 1% [1]. The Russian industry doesn'tuse the advances in science, technological developments and achievements in modern technologyefficiently. The manufacturers are actively pushed out of the market of high technologies and high-tech products.In 2012 these circumstances have prompted the President of Russia to release the President'sprogram (hereinafter - the Program) of training for engineering staff for 2012-2014.
