Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works (MMK) is now employing the latest European methods to train its future workers. According to the company’s PR Department, Magnitogorsk Polytechnic College lab is now fitted with educational stands and units identical to those seen in German academies where the future experts for German concerns are trained. This has been made possible due to the grant the college won in the federal education contest in 2007.


The college representatives visited Festo Academy in Germany last year to practice using the new equipment and take part in the development seminar on automation machinery. They also visited the academy’s technological and learning centers and the premises of Mercedes Benz car factory.
