RANEPA Opens Specialized IT Laboratory for Training Specialists in Russian Software

The Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) has launched a dedicated IT laboratory focused on Russian software and infrastructure management. The facility was established with support from RED SOFT, R7, and ICL Techno, equipping 15 OSiO mini-PCs and monitors with RED OS and R7 Office. Students will gain hands-on experience from operating system installation through virtualization, database administration, and office productivity tasks. The project includes four specialized courses on RED OS, permanent software licenses with updates and support, and opportunities for developer certificates and internships. The laboratory will primarily serve students from the Institute of Public Service and Management and the Institute of Economics, Mathematics and Information Technologies, covering topics such as digital literacy, data management, artificial intelligence, and municipal analytics. RANEPA aims to maintain at least 90 percent utilization of the specialized classroom.
