\nStudents liked the technology of manufacturing materials for processing wood, resistant to water, from which you can make even a washstand.
\nOn the students’ question, about the advantages and disadvantages of using silicate resins, noted the high wear resistance and cheaper production process, good penetration into the pores of wood. Of the disadvantages, identified instability to mechanical damage, and inability to use near high temperatures.<\/p>\n
\nHe told about the way from the manufacture of complex-technical billiard tables to designer furniture, which are in demand in the European market.

\nIn a lively dialogue with students, the reasons for the outflow of personnel, the consequences for those who are traveling to seek a better share abroad and consequences for Ukraine, were discussed.
\nThe lecturers of NAU of Ukraine also joined the conversation, noting one of the problematic issues – the graduates have the education of a technologist, but they do not take experience in their specialty. Representatives of the UAF, employers explained that the practice is necessary to improve the acquired knowledge, in order to avoid gross errors in the work, lead to material losses and other consequences. Some companies are willing to take students to practice on a second shift, part-time or apprenticeship with a specialist.<\/p>\n
\nI was invited to cooperate, I am ready to take students for internship experience, because the main thing is the ability to find a common language and desire to learn. Willingness to find a solution to a problem that had never been done before is an advantage of the constructor, according to Paul.<\/p>\n
\nCommunicating with students, I found interest in working in the specialty in the majority of those present by voting. The profession of the designer interests – 13 persons, the technologist – more than 20 persons, the collection of furniture – 7 persons, the manager of furniture sales is ready to work only 2 people. All students are ready for a certain time to be in the posts of the lowest, but with the prospect of professional growth.
\nTeachers asked to help visit the production of upholstered furniture. Dmitry promised to discuss with the leadership such an opportunity for a group of students.<\/p>\n
\n The conference ended, but our cooperation continues, so please join the survey on further work with profile educational institutions in Ukraine, which train specialists for the furniture industry.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
