Challenges
Metinvest Polytechnic, established in 2021 and affiliated with the renowned Metinvest Group, embarked on a critical mission. Their initial challenge was to address the need for skilled engineers and technicians in a competitive job market, particularly following their relocation from Mariupol to Kyiv due to the destruction and occupation of Mariupol during the war. Additionally, they aimed to align the skills of their workforce with modern equipment and complex workflows.
Metinvest Group, as a whole, confronted its own set of challenges in the aftermath of the war. Some of its facilities were damaged or located in occupied territories, necessitating workforce reorganization and optimization.
