Students will benefit from modern educational programs, advanced equipment, corporate scholarships, and guaranteed employment at Evraz enterprises. This initiative aims to create a seamless transition from education to professional practice, reducing the adaptation period for new employees.
Expanding Educational Support Across Russia
Evraz has been actively participating in the “Professor” program since its inception in 2022. The company has supported several educational institutions across Siberia, including Kuznetsk Industrial College, Kuznetsk Metallurgical College, Novokuznetsk Transport and Technology College, and Tashtagolsky College of Mining Technologies and the service sector. These efforts have led to the opening of new laboratories, specialties, and the acquisition of modern equipment.

This alignment ensures a high employment rate for graduates and reduces the time required for workplace adaptation. Students receive one-time payments and corporate scholarships from Evraz, while educators and college managers undergo additional training to stay current with industry advancements.
This investment in educational infrastructure and human capital is a testament to the commitment of both the federal government and private enterprises like Evraz to fostering a skilled and competitive workforce.
