The same year I entered magistracy and for a year and a half combined work and study. After working for eight months, I became acting master. I became master after passing course of training in 2016. Furhter, I began to act as a senior master. The longer I worked, the more interesting things opened before me-says Mukhamed.

He graduated college six years ago and now he teaches classes for the students of the Branch.

When I was a student, I realized that all the work is easier to understand when you see the process with your own eyes, - says the metallurgist. - I want to convey to my students not only knowledge but also understanding that on this enterprise they can become good specialists in different directions. The employees of the company have the opportunity to get education in related specialties and to develop their career as I have managed to do.
