Modern Russians have for the most part are not accustomed to full independence. On the contrary, they are accustomed to rely not on ourselves but on the state, which take care of them “- says the center’s director,” ProfGid Elmira Davydov.
In the pre-crisis times, this sociocultural Russians usually feature the support of the business. “Before the November 2008 private initiative (” I want to go to study – to improve their skills “) is mainly supported by companies”, – said Director of Development and Foreign Relations of the St. Petersburg International Management Institute (IMISP) Dmitry Pavlov. Currently, employers have become extremely selective: if a decision on the need to pay for any training and adopted, it was only because of their extreme importance. “The request for funding from external training provider staff must now justify the rather high level, proving its necessity,” – said Elizabeth Fetisov, Senior Manager of Public Relations operator Beeline.

In any case, employers should not refuse this expenditure, with correct approach does not require a lot of money “- sums up Galina Bandurkin.
