History tour
At the beginning of the 20th century, two large plants operated on the territory of Voronezh - the name of Lenin and the name of the Comintern. Each enterprise urgently needed highly skilled workers, since the revolutionary workers did not work as well as they rebelled.
In this regard, in 1922, the predecessor of the Voronezh State Industrial and Economic College appeared in Voronezh - a two-year school for workers, which was called Factory and Factory Apprenticeship.
In 1940, this educational institution changed its name and became a Vocational School. Not only boys but also girls could enter here. Schooling was not held in high esteem, so for graduation 4–7 grades were enough.
Then the Second World War began, which interrupted the training sessions. All students went to the factories to work for the benefit of victory. Young people worked on an equal footing with adults. Pupils of the future Voronezh State Industrial and Economic College produced mines and legendary Katyusha rocket launchers.
Classes resumed in 1943, the situation in the educational institution began to improve.
In 1992, the school became a professional lyceum, and then received its modern name. The history of VGPEC knew a short evacuation, and the appearance of new buildings, and numerous renaming, and stagnation, and rapid development. Today it is a strong and stable institution of secondary vocational education, which is popular among applicants from all over the region.
