One of the priorities for the NCFU is creatin equal conditions for both education and extracurricular activities.

– Launching a School of Creative Industries at the NCFU is a promising area that opens wide opportunities for alternative employment, mastering new professional skills and creating more   jobs. Already now there are a number of professions that are supposed to embrace people with disabilities, too, – Dmitry Bespalov (Rector, NCFU) noted.

Representatives of the School of Creative Industries emphasized that for audially challenged students as well as for students with poor mobility they offer a chance to master advanced digital competencies. A special Content Maker course has been developed, where students will learn skills of photography, copywriting, the basics of design for new media, and promoting their services on the market as self-employed freelancers. Classes will be delivered as assisted by experts of the Resource Center for Training and Methodology, and from September on, the course will be available online.

Besides, the school will offer academic seats, each specially equipped with a keyboard and a joystick instead of a conventional computer mouse. Visually challenged students will have access to Brail displays and software to convert text into dots and vice versa, along with respective printers.

As noted at the School of Creative Industries of the NCFU, alternative professions are to help people work and study online, while enjoying a flexible working schedule, which is a very good way to help challenged people open up to their full potential.
