On the Eve of Labor Day, Winners of the "Master of the Vitebsk Region – 2024" Professional Skills Competition were Honored in Vitebsk

Labor is the foundation of the country's development and well-being. This was stated by the Chairman of the Regional Council of Deputies, Dmitry Demidov, who, on the eve of May 1st, honored the winners of the "Master of the Vitebsk Region – 2024" professional skills competition.

– The achievements of any enterprise are backed by a team, where everyone in their place contributes to common success. The foundation of state policy in our country is fair treatment of people, – emphasized Dmitry Demidov. – Following a good tradition, on the eve of May 1st, the trade union summarizes the results of the professional skills competition, thereby popularizing working specialties and professions, and recognizing the best and most dedicated individuals. Teachers, doctors, builders, representatives of other sectors of the national economy ensure our well-being through their labor. I am confident that each of you will serve as an example for the younger generation.


Awards for labor were presented to 17 representatives of various economic sectors of the northern region – these are workers from agriculture, healthcare, education, trade, the petrochemical complex, energy, communications, construction, and other industries. Among them is Vladislav Obolevich, an electrical fitter for testing and measurements at the "Polimir" plant of OJSC "Naftan".

– I came to the enterprise by assignment in 2019, and within a year I was already on the podium of the plant's professional skills competition. I am confident that there is still room to strive and grow in my field. Recently, a young specialist joined our team, with whom I share my experience, offering guidance and teaching the basics and subtleties of the profession, – noted Vladislav Obolevich.

The Chairman of the Regional Trade Union Association, Yuri Derkach, emphasized that workers in various fields and labor veterans who have developed and continue to develop the country's economy have always been treated with honor and respect. The Labor Day highlights the creative nature of the people, the professional skills competition is another reason for pride, and for others, it is an incentive for quality work.
