Uralvagonzavod Corporation’s head plant is going to pay the college tuition fees of its future employees that are expected to be hired at the Nizhniy Tagil site as well as at the other member enterprises of the corporation, including Ural Transport Machine-Building Design Office and ChTZ Uraltrac.

Two students will be directed to Ural Federal University by Ural Transport Machine-Building Design Office to major in Radio Equipment, and two more will major in IT. The remaining 60 students will later be employed by Uralvagonzavod.

The head plant’s future employees can apply to Moscow-based National Research Technological University (2 students), Saint Petersburg-based Baltic State Technical University (Voenmeh) (3), Novouralsk-based National Research Nuclear University (10), and Yekaterinburg-based Ural Federal University (45). The popular fields of study are heating equipment, machine-building, metallurgy, automation, and others.

‘Uralvagonzavod has a lot of experience in covering its future employees’ tuition fees: we first tried it in 2000, and, over the following fifteen years, this has become one of the key trends in training high quality engineer cadre. The young graduates will be very welcome at our production sites, where we are introducing all the latest technologies and up-to-date equipment and are mastering our innovative special-purpose and civilian goods,’ the corporation says.
