    Students and Pupils

    As a growing company, which is constantly seeking out young professionals, Uralkali is committed to educating students and pupils about its business and the broader industry. The company holds Open Days and offers work experience programmes for undergraduate students, as well as university and school graduates and graduates of vocational education institutions.

    Uralkali is keen to employ young qualified professionals and runs programmes aimed at supporting students who study subjects relevant to the Company’s operations. Since 2011, Uralkali has implemented a programme, in partnership with PNRPU, which provides scholarships and access to the Company data for research papers for its participants. As a part of the programme, the Company also offers internships and guarantees employment upon completion of studies according to the graduates’ qualifications.

    We are most interested in employing specialists in the following areas:

    • Mine surveying
    • Underground development of ore deposits
    • Mining machines and equipment
    • Electric drive and automatics technology in mining and oil production
    • Chemical engineering of non-organic matters
    • Heat power engineering

    Under an agreement between Uralkali and Perm National Research Polytechnic University, the Company provides support to the teaching staff of relevant departments, and grants personal scholarships and awards to the most successful and talented students. Every year, the Company grants approximately 20 personal scholarships to the students at the university’s main site in Perm and its branch in Berezniki. The Company has been awarding personal scholarships since 2006.

    Uralkali also takes part in various projects supporting young specialists. In particular, the Company has for many years been a sponsor of the Oil, Gas and Mining Russian Youth Forum, and the Bolshaya Razvedka national accelerator contest of innovative projects.

    Potash Institute

    Potash Institute

    In 2009, the Perm National Research Polytechnic University (PNRPU, former Perm State Technical University) inaugurated the Potash Institute founded by the university, Uralkali, Silvinit, and the Mining Institute of the Urals Affiliate of the Russian Academy of Science. The Potash Institute coordinates the joint activities of PNRPU, scientific organisations, and companies of the private sector aimed at preparing highly-skilled specialists for the potash industry. Within the framework of a national programme, and with support from Uralkali, the Potash Institute rebuilt its core site and acquired new equipment.
