A pilot project on teaching students directly at the workplace was jointly launched by the N. M. Fedorovsky Polar State University (ZSU) and the Polar Branch of Norilsk Nickel as part of the program of the Yenisei Siberia Scientific and Educational Center. As part of the project, it is planned to train specialists for metallurgical production, including for the "Sulfur Program" launched at the Nadezhdinsky Metallurgical Plant (NMZ) of Norilsk Nickel.
The Sulfur Program is Norilsk Nickel's largest environmental event, which has no analogues in the world, aimed at achieving sulfur dioxide utilization rates at the level of the world's best practices and drastically reducing sulfur dioxide emissions while improving the environmental situation.
"Highly qualified personnel are required to maintain the new production facility and neutralize sulfuric acid. This year, we have upgraded the metallurgy program "Advanced Technologies of non–ferrous Metals Metallurgy": we are adopting all the newest technologies that exist in the world, and we are deepening into production," said Arkady Tarasevich, Vice-rector for Research and International Affairs at ZSU named after N. M. Fedorovsky.
The students' education will be as close as possible to the conditions in which they will have to work in the future. Together with the specialists of the Polar branch of Norilsk Nickel, they will take part in the implementation of real projects. The first pilot lesson has already taken place at the Nadezhdinsky Metallurgical Plant.
"We expect a lot from this training. For the first time, students are directly involved in production," said Ninel Eroshevich, Head of the Human Resources Department of the enrichment and metallurgical production units of the Polar Branch of Norilsk Nickel. "The Nadezhdinsky Plant is the flagship of non–ferrous metallurgy, and we are ready to introduce students to it. So that they know in practice how our main equipment works, they can better understand the training material. Also, in the theoretical classes, we tell you what competencies are needed to master the work of a master, and then move up the career ladder."
It is expected that the new form of education in the future will help attract more applicants to the metallurgical field of the Polar State University and will enable new personnel to work at the unique enterprises of Norilsk Nickel, including within the framework of the Sulfur Program implemented at NMZ.
