Metallurgical education. Problems and solutions

Abstract

Problems of professional training of metallurgists in the conditions of the south of Ukraine are considered. It is shown that, despite the high share of metal products of Mariupol metallurgical plants (about 35 % of the gross product and 23 % of the country’s foreign exports), little attention is paid to training specialists in this field. The reasons for the sharp reduction in the recruitment of students for metallurgical specialties are considered. Options for cooperation with potential investors – charitable foundations and the Metinvest corporation are proposed.
