About the professions most needed in the Arctic

Specialists from Petrozavodsk State University Irina Stepus, Anna Simakova and Evgeny Pitukhin conducted a study of the professions in demand in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation 2021-2035.
Representatives of the Center for Budget Monitoring of PetrSU interviewed 74 largest companies in the Arctic. These included 17 enterprises of the Murmansk region, 14 enterprises of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, nine enterprises of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, eight employers each from the Arkhangelsk Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, seven employers in Karelia and three from the Komi Republic.

Based on these data, a list of the most popular professions requiring higher and secondary education was compiled.
