About
Government Relations' functions have finally become the mandatory condition for development and enhancement of business and nonprofit organizations. It is literally neither possible nor justifiable to execute major or social responsibility projects as well as agree upon some long-term investments without the strategically significant collaboration with state authorities. The role of managers, who are responsible for interaction with public entities, has been increasing. The managers start facing the mounting requirements to their professionalism as well. The future of the overwhelming majority of world markets is inexorably connected with state actions. Protectionism, import substitution, export promotion, technological ambitions, geopolitical adjustments, governmental social initiatives' reinforcement and now the pandemic of Covid-19 – all these variables are swiftly transforming the current state of affairs, and enormously precise adaptation of business and the "third sector" is totally required for "survival". Under these complex and sophisticated circumstances the trust of the State is positioned as the most precious capital of for-profit companies and NGOs. GR-experts are in extremely high demand now, and their professional relevance has been expanding annually.

Mastery and advancement of the professional activity, aimed at representing and promoting the interests within the system of public entities at the regional, federal and supranational (the EEU) levels as well as internationally.

The advanced training "GR and Lobbying in Business and Nonprofit sector" under the leadership of Mr. Eduard Voytenko awarded me the wealth of knowledge, which is indispensable for professional activity and extremely useful for enhancing the GR-expertise of Skyeng. The GR-training is best structured, it is an ideal combination of theory and practice. Among lecturers were chief executives of the leading companies, who addressed an audience, presenting the practical material, based on their work experience.
It is very significant to note that all the lecturers maintained the lively dialogue with attendees, they were completely open to communication. It was the powerful networking experience for me. Upon completion of the GR-training, I was given the handout materials, since then I have been using them from time to time. I recommend this training to everyone, who wishes to excel in the GR-profession or obtain more knowledge on this matter. After graduation You will have the true understanding of this professional domain.

The GR-course will help arrange the working process inside my department according to the priorities, set by our corporate management. With regard to all the speakers of the educational program, I would like to praise the work of Ms. Irina Fedorova from Baltika Brewery (Carlsberg Group) and Ms. Maria Dronova (EVRAZ Holding) – these two stories made me energized, they provided me with ideas, which can be used
in my practice.
What is more, within the framework of the GR-course It was possible to get acquainted with interesting and very talented people from various spheres, like-minded professionals. It was possible to exchange contacts. We have already found the common topics, which can be implemented beyond the framework of the GR-program.

The training course was very interesting! I like very much the theoretical block from Mr. Eduard Voytenko, CEO and Managing Director of Baikal Communications Group, which he presented in the beginning. The practical experience of a number of corporate colleagues was very compelling as well. I was delighted to learn some particularities of the media GR-activities. For example, lecture of the speaker from the Russian newspaper "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" was very interesting. In addition to the aforementioned educational potential, the GR-training gives some excellent networking opportunities.
Time is one of the most valuable resources. The GR-training program was so intensely saturated with a formidable number of great speakers and extremely useful information, that its fruitful outcomes are certainly going to unveil themselves in the long run. Speakers understand you and your professional needs and present the most relevant cases.
For experts in international relations and those who seek to become one, this training program can become a beneficial addition to their expertise and an impetus for their career in the relevant professional domain.

Excellent and unique course, established by the team under the leadership of Eduard Voytenko, with incredible and experienced speakers. The GR-course suits everyone: it will be relevant both for those, who just start learning the GR-topic and for those, who have experience, working with it. The program is very structured and enables (through the accumulated knowledge and skills) to form the specific GR-framework within the company, where attendees intend to work or are already working. The program encompasses the practical experience not only of different companies, but also covers versatile segments of activity: from industry, energy and production to pharmaceutics and IT/Telecom. It is mandatory to highlight the capacious handouts as well. The obtained knowledge is of high demand on the labor market.
