Today, in the Great Hall of the Saint Petersburg Mining University, M.V. Slipenchuk, head of METROPOL Group of Companies, held a traditional meeting with Buryat students attending the university under a target program since 2006.

Today there are over 50 Buryat students; first graduation is planned for the spring of 2011. Answering the questions from the audience, M.V. Slipenchuk noted that METROPOL Group of Companies is willing to honor its contractual obligations to the students. He noted, however, that a job at the group’s mining plant in Buryatia requires outstanding academic and practical achievements.

“We will offer jobs to all worthy graduates under the target program”, said Mr Slipenchuk.

After the meeting, each student received an issue of the Metrofan corporate magazine and a memorable gift from the Lake Baikal Preservation Foundation.
