Valerijs Bitenieks – From a Student of Riga Polytechnic Institute to a Construction Contractor in the Independent Latvia

A paper on Valerijs Bitenieks, a graduate (1986) of the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering of Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI), reflects on the daily life of the Soviet students in the 1980s, the work of a young engineer while he was trying various opportunities in the labour market and the engineer’s growth as a successful contractor in the independent Latvia in the 21st century. It traces the life of V. Bitenieks from his childhood to the present day, paying attention to his professional activities. The research provides an insight into students’ internships and extracurricular activities during the Soviet era. Unpublished photographic material unknown to the general public has been obtained.

Valerijs Bitenieks – no Rīgas Politehniskā institūta studenta līdz būvuzņēmējam neatkarīgajā Latvijā

Pētījums par Rīgas Politehniskā institūta (RPI) Arhitektūras un celtniecības fakultātes absolventu (1986) Valeriju Bitenieku atklāj padomju studentu ikdienu 20. gadsimta 80. gados, jaunā inženiera darbību, izmēģinot dažādas iespējas darba tirgū un inženiera izaugsmi par veiksmīgu būvuzņēmēju neatkarīgajā Latvijā 21. gadsimtā. Tajā izsekots V. Bitenieka dzīvei no bērnības līdz mūsdienām, pievēršot uzmanību viņa profesionālajai darbībai. Veicot pētī¬jumu, gūts ieskats par studentu prakses un ārpusstudiju aktivitātēm padomju laikā, iegūti nepublicēti un plašākai sabiedrībai nezināmi fotomateriāli.

International Economic Forum as a Platform for Gaining Experience and Reinforcing Communication Skills

The paper discusses current trends in the Russian labor market. The question of the importance of communication and self-presentation skills for a modern young engineer is highlighted. The paper provides a definition of the engineering elite as universal specialists capable of solving diverse problems. An important component of the education of the elite is the stressful situation simulation for the development of skills for solving extraordinary tasks and teamwork. A visit to the forum is an important component of the training, in which students learn to apply the learned skills in practice to consolidate them and broaden outlook. The necessity of attending high-level public events for students striving for self-realization not only as specialists, but also as an educated person, is shown.
