Lyudmila Babushkina, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Sverdlovsk Region, presented the project to the Federation Council, pointing out its strategic importance for the region. After combining and modernizing the infrastructure, the cluster will be able to increase the annual output of specialists from 6 thousand to 8 thousand people.

The implementation of the project is designed to solve the problem of a shortage of qualified personnel at industrial enterprises in the region. The ideological inspirer of the project is the director of the Ural Polytechnic College Vyacheslav Moskovkin.

Lilia Gumerova, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture, noted that in order to receive federal funding, the Ural Polytechnic College must first enter the federal project "Professionalism." After that, the institution will be able to participate in the overhaul program.

The project received preliminary approval from the Federation Council and was sent for revision. If successfully included in the federal project "Professionalism," financing for repair work may begin in 2025.^[1]
