Metallurgy, once considered the preserve of men, also has a woman's face. Zaporizhstal employs more than 2,000 female specialists, whose hard work is essential to the company's success. They are frail and strong, they break stereotypes, and they are also well versed in production and are able to operate multi-tonne machines on an equal footing with men.Nataliia KUPRIY, a crane operator in the cold rolling shop, is among them. After graduating from Zaporizhzhya Professional Metallurgical Lyceum in 2014, Nataliia Kupriy joined Zaporizhstal as a crane operator in the cold rolling shop. Back then, Nataliia says, mastering the profession of an operator seemed like a challenge. However, under the supervision of experienced mentors, she quickly acquired all the necessary skills. She recalls her first faltering steps and attempts in the profession with a smile, as today she can put newcomers to a trade.– I come to work as if I were at home - everything here is already my own, close to my hear

War veterans Oleksandr Marushchyk from InGOK and Ivan Pravdyn from Metinvest Sichstal underwent a three-day rehabilitation and psychosocial support programme with experts of the Israeli Trauma Coalition at the ULIS countryside complex in Kyiv region. Non-governmental organization DOLADU was a partner of the programme.Veterans of the current full-scale war are mostly young people who had to leave their peaceful jobs and take up arms because of the military aggression. Each of them now has gone through their own difficult experiences and personal tragedies. Demobilised for health reasons, age or family circumstances, they are now learning to live a civilian life again. Most of them need specialised help to fully recover.The organisers of the DoLadu mental health lab rehabilitation programme joined in to tackle this issue. They invited veterans from different regions of Ukraine to take part in a pilot course. Two Metinvest colleagues from Krivyi Rih were among the first participants. Bef

Metinvest Group, together with DTEK Academy, has developed and implemented a unique learning course for employees to help war veterans adapt to civilian life – Heroes Among Us. The first wave of the programme will cover 1,200 managers of the company's enterprises in the regions where the company operates.Almost 400 employees have already returned to work at Metinvest after demobilisation, and the number of war veterans at our enterprises will grow over time. They strengthen the teams, in particular, thanks to the skills they acquired during the defence of Ukraine: leadership, teamwork, result orientation, cohesiveness and mutual assistance. However, the heroes need time and support to recover from their experiences at the front, rejoin the work teams and help Ukraine on the labour front. Metinvest is committed to support them along this way.Work teams, which war veterans join, play an important role in their successful adaptation. At the same time, maximum involvement in this process r
