CEO of the Marketing Logic analytical company Dmitry Galkin headed the state attestation commission for bachelor graduates of the "Service" direction of the Russian State University of Tourism and Service. Thus, the work of students was evaluated, among other things, in terms of their practical value and relevance by business and the economy.
The State Examination Commission of RGUTiS considered the defense of 16 final qualifying works, all of which were marked as “good” and “excellent” as a result of the tests. More than half of theses were devoted to online services and the development of websites and mobile applications, two works were devoted to the development of services using computer vision technologies and backend technologies. At the same time, four final qualifying works at once involved, to one degree or another, geoanalytics and geodata analysis.
“For more than three years we have been closely monitoring the professional development of students and graduates of RSUTIS and see how seriously both teachers and students themselves follow trends, market needs and try to find a balance between the scientific weight of their work and their practical significance. This year, as a member of the commission, and as a representative of the business community, I was very pleased with the level of work preparation, and, perhaps most importantly, the level of understanding of graduates, now young bachelors, why these developments and the services they offer are needed. It is always very valuable when a young specialist or a future scientist gives an account of the context of his research, its relevance and can explain this to the commission, teacher, his friends or employer. These excellent skills in defending their projects will certainly be useful to all graduates”,
“Marketing Logic is a recognized expert in the market in the field of high technologies, data processing, and geoanalytics. We see that leading global and Russian companies value cooperation with her. For us, this means that the expertise presented at the exams by the head of the company, Dmitry Galkin, is an important criterion for evaluating projects by representatives of the business and economic community. If a student’s work is highly appreciated by a company behind which there is cooperation with large pharmaceutical corporations, TOP-10 banks and retail chains, this means that for several years we have been teaching these students correctly, distributing the load between theoretical knowledge, practice, developing competencies that allow RSUTIS graduates to be valuable in a highly competitive labor market, and some of them to continue their education and develop science”, - notes the importance of cooperation between educational institutions and business director of the Higher School of Service of the Russian State University of Tourism and Service, Ph.D., associate professor Larisa Sumzina.
