As a result of the attack, an employee was also injured. A special condition of the training session was that participants had to practise their actions in blackout conditions. In addition, Ihor Toniev, General Director and Chief of Staff, added another condition ‒ the absence of water in the water supply system and a dep

The story of Zaporizhstal employee Andriy Shkolnyi is an example of how the combination of industrial experience and modern education opens up new opportunities for professional growth – from the first internship to the engineering position and beyond. Andriy SHKOLNYI came to Zaporizhstal in 2023 as a college student - for internship in the sinter shop. After completing the internship, Andriy began his career as an electrical fitter and in a year and a half of work managed not only to adapt to production, but also to take the next step in professional development."I worked in the sinter shop for a year and a half. I was offered a job as an electrical engineer in the service of the chief power engineer. And I was very interested in this offer, because these are new opportunities, interesting work – and I did not hesitate to choose it," says Andriy. Along with new professional challenges, there is also an understanding that systematic education is needed for further development. So he e

Stanislav Biriuchynskyi knows well what it means to lose your home because of the war. And that is why today, in the army, he is doing everything not to allow it to be lost again. His story begins in Luhansk, the city where he was born, grew up and got his first profession as a builder. His parents lived there, and there were plans for life. But in 2014, the war forced him to leave everything behind. Like thousands of Ukrainians, Stanislav became an internally displaced person. The new home for him was hospitable Zaporizhzhia.The city received him warmly. Here Stanislav began life anew: he found a job, friends, met his future wife. It was here that he began to put down roots - to build a career and his own future.In 2017, he came to work at Zaporizhstal plant: he took a course as an assistant locomotive driver, later became a substitute duty officer, and received higher education at Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic University. He planned to work, develop, and live an ordinary peaceful life.Bu

Even during the war, Metinvest continues to take care of the settlements that border the company's industrial enterprises. This year's support for the villages of the Gleyuvatska community was recorded in a memorandum of cooperation between Metinvest Integrated Iron Ore, the Gleyuvatska Village Council and the NGO "Kryvyi Rih Foundation for the Future".Long-term cooperation brings results. It is thanks to a useful partnership that the villages of the Gleyuvatska TC are being developed, and the infrastructure is being improved. As a result of participation in the socio-economic life of the community, partners gain experience and determine which projects should be implemented in the first place. This year, repairs of educational institutions, including thermal modernization of buildings, which will increase energy efficiency and create comfortable conditions for study and work, remain among the priority areas."Our cooperation with the Gleyuvatska community has been going on since 2019.

Вибір професії – один із перших важливих кроків у житті старшокласника. Саме зараз важливо не лише визначитися з напрямом, а й зрозуміти, як виглядатиме подальший шлях у професії. Щоб допомогти учням зорієнтуватися, команда Метінвест Політехніки продовжує серію виїзних зустрічей у межах проєкту ROAD SHOW. Цього разу вони відбулися одразу у двох громадах – Петрівській та Широківській. До діалогу долучилися учні, батьки та педагоги – усі, хто допомагає молоді робити усвідомлений вибір майбутньої кар’єри. У таких зустрічах також беруть участь викладачі університету, які є практиками у своїх напрямках. Завдяки цьому розмова набуває прикладного характеру: учні дізнаються не лише про спеціальності, а й про реальні кейси, досвід студентів та перші кроки у професії. Викладачі наголошують: важливо приїжджати до учнів, спілкуватися наживо, відповідати на запитання та пояснювати складні речі простою мовою. Такий формат робить діалог відкритішим і допомагає краще зорієнтуватися у виборі. Цікаві п

Народитися в аристократичній родині та жити життям справжньої дослідниці. Вдягатись наче власниця модного дому, мати за кращу подругу українську культуру – і дати життя найвідомішій її провісниці. А ще – стати першою членкинею Всеукраїнської академії наук, створити й видати десятки перекладів, етнографічних праць, поетичних збірок та оповідань. Це все змогла неймовірна українка Ольга Косач, в дівоцтві – Драгоманова. Втім, більшість із нас знає її як Олену Пчілку.На роду написаноНавіть прізвище родини, в якій дівчинка з’явилась на світ, натякало на літературну кар’єру. Адже одне зі значень слова «драгоман» – це «перекладач». Чи підозрювала про це маленька Ольга – невідомо. Однак, вже з перших літ мала неабиякий гуманітарний хист. А любов до України та рідної культури дбайливо прищепили батьки – небагаті, але освічені дворяни, чиї предки служили дипломатами ще при Богданові Хмельницькому. «Можна сказати, що українська течія оточала нас могутньо: се була українська пісня, казка, все те,

A defender of Ukraine and an employee of Metinvest from Kryvyi Rih, Denys Honcharenko, has received rehabilitation support from the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation. Thanks to this assistance, the severely wounded soldier is continuing an important stage of his recovery. Rehabilitation gives Denys a chance to preserve the achieved progress and significantly improve his condition, surpassing doctors' forecasts. "We learned about Denys's story from Metinvest, because both he and his parents work for the company. It is crucial for us to support this family. Today Denys is undergoing rehabilitation at one of the best centres in Ukraine – in Modrychi. Vitalii Shumei, who is also supported by the Foundation and FC Shakhtar, is receiving treatment there as well. According to Vitalii's father, they communicate with each other. We are pleased to support him and wish Denys strength and a speedy recovery," said Kseniia SUKHOVA, General Director of the Foundation. Defender Vitalii Shumei is also undergo
