NLMK Group, an international steel company, will establish personalized scholarships for the best students of MISIS National University of Science and Technology, and increase the number of on-the-job trainees from the University at its sites.
NLMK and MISIS have signed a framework cooperation agreement, which will facilitate the training of qualified steelmaking professionals and contribute to the development of the vocational training system.
The agreement opens up new opportunities for science and education projects with MISIS students and professors. Expanded NLMK/MISIS partnership will involve joint participation in career guidance events, forums, career days, and round tables on topical issues related to the development of the steel sector.
Mikhail Arkhipov, NLMK Group Vice President, HR and Management System, said: “This partnership with one of the oldest steel universities in Russia is our contribution to training highly qualified steelmaking professionals. I am convinced that this agreement will provide a new impetus to exploring the unique synergies that exist between NLMK and MISIS.”
Alevtina Chernikova, MISIS University President, said: “MISIS National University of Science and Technology has been actively cooperating with NLMK on joint research, educational and professional guidance projects for many years. In 2017 NLMK became one of the University’s key partners in organizing a project shift at Sirius Educational Center. In 2018 NLMK supported CUP MISIS CASE, a national case-solving competition, traditionally organized by MISIS. This new agreement between NLMK and MISIS will enable us to go ahead with many new projects in a wide variety of University focus areas.” (NLMK/Ukrainian metal)
