UrBC, Chelyabinsk, March 22, 2019. ChelPipe Group, Almetyevsk Vocational School, and Russia’s Defense Ministry signed an agreement to allow the alumni of Tatarstan’s College of the Future Corporate Training Program to serve their army terms in Mirny, Samara Region. the training program gets hosted by ChelPipe Group’s member enterprise Alnas.

According to the Group’s press service, forty new recruits will serve their terms in the MoD’s Army 14 Air Force & Air Defense unit.

The new agreement is yet another measure to comply with the Russian President Vladimir Putin’s commission to the Defense Ministry to make sure the vocational school alumni on ChelPipe Group’s training programs serve their army terms in the parts of Russia where the Group operates.

For one, ChelPipe Group’s Future of White-Coated Metallurgy Corporate Training Program’s alumni have been serving their army terms in Gorny Shchit, Sverdlovsk Region, since 2012. Last year, a similar arrangement came into effect in Shagol, Chelyabinsk Region.

‘This is the third agreement ChelPipe Group and MoD have signed to allow the future soldiers to get prepared for their army time and to retain all the potential cadre for our industrial facilities. Thanks to this mutually beneficial cooperation with the military bases, the Group has a continuous professional development system for highly skilled blue-collar workers who come to the metallurgical and machine-building enterprises in Sverdlovsk Region, Chelyabinsk Region, and Tatarstan,’ says ChelPipe shareholder and Chair of the BOD Andrei Komarov.
