UFA, 30 June 2016. /Bashinform News Agency, Galiya Nabieva/. In Ufa a coworking space appeared at Aviation Technologies Technopark. There the students of Ufa State Aviation Technical University (USATU) will study the basics of their profession, implement their creative projects and earn the first money, the press service of the City Council of Ufa informs. The opening ceremony was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Bashkortostan Dmitry Sharonov and the Chairman of Ufa City Council Eugene Semivelichenko, which initiated the co-working space arrangement.

"The third-year students will be able to design equipment for the production of engines there. They will take on-the-job training, and at the same time have an opportunity to earn extra money", said Eugene Semivelichenko.
