Students and schoolchildren

NLMK Group offers various work experience and research internships and apprenticeships, including paid placements. Annual plans are developed on the basis of requests submitted by the Group’s departments and functions. Universities and colleges then select the best-performing students in the relevant field. If students demonstrate good performance during their placement, then upon their graduation they are employed by NLMK Group companies. The Group’s main site in Lipetsk sets aside 200 jobs for this purpose.
