It was attended by leading HSE specialists, heads of HR departments, and heads of structural units at Metinvest's Kryvyi Rih enterprises, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih and Ferrexpo Poltava Mining. The event was organised by Ingulets GOK.More than 3,000 employees of Metinvest's Kryvyi Rih GOKs have joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war. Veterans who have been demobilised from the army are gradually returning to their enterprises.

There are many large families working at Metinvest Central GOK, in which representatives of several generations remain loyal to the enterprise for many years. One of them is the Dobrovolski family, whose total work experience is 76 years. The family represents three generations and four employees of CGOK.Nina Dobrovolska is a 38-year experienced founder of a labour dynasty. In 1971, she began working as a storekeeper in the material storage and distribution workshop of Central GOK. At that time, she had no idea that soon she would start a new family history. Nina witnessed an interesting period of the enterprise’s operation: CGOK had just got out of crisis and was gaining momentum in production volumes.“The plant is my whole life and the only entry in my employment record book. For me, the history of CGOK is, in fact, the history of my family. I am proud that it is part of such a powerful, cutting-edge enterprise. The plant is not only production facilities, but also work personnel. O

From the very first day of the invasion, the man joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The children and grandchildren of many of them followed the older generation and continued the labour dynasties that Zaporizhstal is proud of. Experts also choose Zaporizhstal, even if they are experienced in a different speciality. After all, mentoring and support for "newcomers" is another tradition of a large team. Everyone here remembers the time when they first came to an unfamiliar enterprise and got used to the new place, and today they introduce "new recruits" to the profession as an experienced mentor.This is what happened to Andrii KYLYMYCHENKO.

The company launched serial production of mine trawls and helped to open training centres for deminers.The full-scale war is still ongoing, and Ukraine is already the most mined country in the world.

In industrial Kryvyi Rih, most residents are, in one way or another, connected with mining and metallurgical enterprises. Tens of thousands of them work as families at Metinvest plants.

Анастасія та Ярослав In 2016, with a new diploma from the Faculty of “Railway Transportation Process Management,” Nastia came to production for the first time. She began her internship at the Northern railway station which has the same name as the GOK. The work of a station duty operator is extremely responsible and requires a person to have logical thinking, vigilance and self-control. Immediately after the university classroom, it was difficult for the girl to manage many processes at the same time, and mentors helped her gain experience. But among her colleagues who worked at the railway there was one impudent assistant of traction unit operator, Yaroslav, who could some
