Educational and educational institutions should cooperate to release the demanding specialists for the true economic sector, Oleg Davidenko said.
For Ukraine, technical specialists are a matter of national security. Therefore, educational programs need to be directed here. It was said by Department of Corporate Communications by Metinvest Group Oleg Davidenko at the HR Wisdom Summit 2025, held at KYIV, the company’s press service said.
According to him, today the technical higher education in Ukraine has been -underestimated, and the demand for technical specialties is math, physics, chemistry, engineering – low. This is due to the loss of industry’s popularity, although the products of this industry – iron and equipment – surround us every day. That is why Ukraine’s entrepreneurship and educational institutions should cooperate to liberate the requirements of specialists for the real economic sector.
“Technical education is a matter of national security. Because economic stability and development depends on how much human potential to be preserved in Ukraine. We cannot afford to import knowledge and specialists -they must be here. After all, these people will restore the destroyed, build the country’s future in the coming decades,” Davidenko convinced.
In his opinion, the academic and scientific ingredients of the study are important, but the main thing is closely integrating into practical experiences: certification programs, specific skills, internship. A university student must clearly understand how to apply skill knowledge and where he or she will work in the future.
Therefore, the business should be involved in an educational ecosystem at all levels – from school to university. At the same time, the goals of education and business should break down, otherwise the gap between their priorities – for example, the focus of education in volume rather than quality – has led to a lack of qualified personnel, and the business is forced to develop its own training system, Davidenko is convinced.
According to the press service, creating specific programs that meet the modern market needs, metіnsvest is investing.
“More than 513 million UAHs invested in the formation of the University of Metіnvest polytechnic. The university has 19 Bachelors and 21 Master Programs, as well as graduate school. The University has released nearly 300 masters – highly qualified specialists who use their training knowledge,” the report said.
Oleg Davidenko called on educational institutions to look for partnerships and, according to him, “the business is easy to respond.”
“The path of creating your own universities is not for everyone, so the business can cooperate with other universities and programs. The cooperation is the key to the target, highly similar and fast results,” he completed.
Earlier, the metіnsvest entered the rating of the best Ukraine employers -for the veterans program and retirement programs, offered by the University of Metіnvest Polytechnic.
Metіnsvest also took place in the ranking of Ukraine’s largest private business, with the income of UAH 270.5 billion.
