The Group recognises the importance of developing our next generation of employees. This led to a wide ranging educational policy being developed, which in turn has ensured that individuals are able to reach their full potential, improved the prospects and quality of life for many people, and has benefited the Amur region as a whole.

The Group has a long term programme of investing in various educational projects, which includes:

• Providing financial support, books and equipment for nurseries, primary schools and secondary schools
• Offering internships and work placements to local students
• Providing lecturers for chemistry courses at Blagoveschensk State Pedagogical University and geology courses of Amur State University
• Hosting regular internal technical conferences to exchange experience and share best practice.

The Group is committed to improving and broadening the qualifications, horizons and job progression opportunities of its employees via internal and external training seminars and courses. Petropavlovsk supports employees seeking to study for higher education diplomas.
