Tomsk companies showed apathy in filing applications for subsidies

Heads up, folks! This one's keeping it real, straight from the horse's mouth. I'm here to dish the deets on a hot topic that's been buzzing around Tomsk lately - the lack of skilled workers in the region.
Last week, Svetlana Grunykh, Tomsk's deputy governor for social policy, spilled the beans at a national project "Cadres" presentation. According to her, as many as 555 Tomsk businesses have stepped up to claim a piece of the targeted training pie for specialists, with a whopping 69% of those placements reserved for the healthcare industry.
Now, you might be wondering why the rest of the business sector isn't scrambling for a piece of this action. Well, it seems that these companies haven't yet calculated their need for skilled workers and aren't ready to strategize. That's a pretty serious risk we're facing here, Grunykh warned, pointing to a looming shortage of 3 million specialists countrywide.
She went on to say, "Think about it - companies from other regions are gearing up to snag these top talents for themselves, so those that jump on the targeted training bandwagon - they're the ones that will come out on top."
Bear in mind, the deadline for applications for this targeted training is fast approaching - May 14th, to be precise. So, businesses better get cracking on their human resources strategy if they want to stay competitive.
As for what's happening outside the healthcare sector in Tomsk, the search data doesn't shed much light on it. But the Tomsk scientists are cooking up a comprehensive model to assess regions[1], and grants are available for IT solutions in other parts of the country[5].
To get the whole picture, it'd be prudent to stay tuned for official updates from Tomsk's economic development agencies and local business reports.
1. To address the current lack of skilled workers in Tomsk, it's crucial for businesses to focus on education-and-self-development and career-development, especially in areas outside healthcare, for the long-term success of their companies.
2. With the impending shortage of 3 million specialists nationwide, investing in learning opportunities for employees can serve as a strategic move to ensure business competitiveness in Tomsk and beyond.
