In 1959, a branch of the famous Leningrad shipbuilding appeared in Severodvinsk, as the shipbuilding institute was called for short. This marked the final formation of the system of professional training of workers, technical and engineering personnel for the city’s shipbuilding enterprises.
In 1939, a shipbuilding technical school was opened in Molotovsk, which trained mid-level specialists for shipbuilding yard No. 402, and then for other enterprises of the city. Engineering specialists were assigned to the city’s plants after graduating from the country’s technical universities. Until the end of the 1960s, that is, before the appearance of its own higher educational institution, there was a shortage of engineering personnel at the plant. Many plants managers did not have higher education. In order to start educating their specialists for the nascent industry - nuclear shipbuilding, in 1959, on the initiative of the plant director Yevgeny Egorov, a branch of the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute was organized in the city. Egorov himself from 1965 to 1970 was the first rector of the institute on a voluntary basis.
In 1961, the institute recruited a course of factory workshop managers. Among other students, the 46-year-old head of the workshop, Lenin Prize Laureate Innokenty Stepanovich Bakhtin, began to study, whose student card can be seen in the exposition.
A joint order of the State Committee for Shipbuilding and the USSR Ministry of Higher Education in 1965 determined the status of Sevmashvtuz as a branch of the Leningrad Shipbuilding Institute. From the beginning of its activity, Sevmashvtuz was also assigned the status of a technical college at the Northern Machine-Building Enterprise in Severodvinsk.
The training of specialists in the plant-technical college system involves the combination of educational activities and work in the shipbuilding industry, this allows students to immediately combine theory and practice. Many plant managers proudly say that they began their career as an apprentice fitter or electrician. The Severodvinsk system of personnel training is being successfully maintained today.
