Abstract
The article objective is to study the problems related to human resources formation at the Siberian industrial enterprises. The processes of personnel formation were mainly associated with scientific and technological progress, which took place at all enterprises in the Siberian region. The research task is to show the development of scientific and technological progress at industrial enterprises and demonstrate its activity. Scientific and technological progress was especially active at industrial enterprises related to mechanical engineering, energy industry, and chemical production. It was slightly less active at enterprises related to transport and construction. The next factor that influenced the problems of personnel formation in Siberia was governmental policy aimed at exploiting various natural resources of the region. The government paid particular attention to the Soviet youth participation, who took an active part both in enterprise and city construction, and in the natural resources development of the Siberian region. Organizing the educational system at various levels played an important role in training industrial personnel for Siberian enterprises. The personnel necessary for the West Siberian oil and gas complex started to prepare personnel in early 1960s. Tyumen Industrial Institute was established in 1963 by a special resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers that immediately began training personnel for the oil and gas complex. Technical and vocational school network was created in Tyumen and neighboring regions as well. The northern West Siberia enterprises staff was trained in Novosibirsk. In addition, the enterprises themselves trained skilled workers, as well as personnel professional development. The author concludes that several factors influenced the formation of human resources in Siberia at once, the main of which were: technological progress and the Soviet state policy on accelerated industrial development of the country’s eastern regions. These problems have not been adequately reflected in Siberian and Russian historiography. The article uses both general scientific and historical approaches. Priority is given to historical methods, where processes are arranged in a chronological order, as well as a comparative analysis of the situation related to industrial development in Siberia’s various regions.
