Students from Russia, CIS join Olympic construction in Sochi.

SOCHI, July 4 (Itar-Tass) - Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi in the
run-up to the Winter Olympic Games in 2014 becomes a students'
construction site this summer, Vice Premier Dmitry Kozak said on Saturday.
Almost 1,500 students from twenty-eight Russian regions, Belarus,
Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan have already begun to work at the yet-to-be
Olympic facilities.
"Students began to work mainly in the construction of a railroad from
Adler to the Krasnaya Polyana ski resort and transport infrastructure
facilities as well as at ice skating sites in the Olympic Park," he said.
"This is a unique chance for boys and girls to make their contribution
to the countrywide construction and a great opportunity to get experience
and additional professional skills and to earn money during holidays,"
Kozak said.
The government supports students' movement and drafted measures to
create preferences for employers who attract students. On Friday, the
State Duma adopted in the first reading the relevant draft law.
"This mechanism will allow to stimulate the creation of new jobs for
students and revival of students' squads all over the country," he said.
