a next in turn phase of corporate program "Professional

program, the Company cooperates with 22 HEE of Russia.

Strategic partnership agreement signed by the Company and SFU
in 2010. Selecting future participants in the "Professional
take-off" program, the project promoters used a new
methodology aiming at employment of students better motivated
for further work in the Company.

elevate the quality of eventual Company's employees
preparation, the Mining, Geologic and Geotechnological
Institute, as part of the SFU, supported by the Company,
inaugurated in March of 2012 computer modeling and mining
design laboratory. At the same time, the SFU and MMC Norilsk
Nickel signed a target program "Effective SFU and MMC Norilsk
Nickel cooperation for 2012-2015".

Corporative programs on HEE cooperation
MMC Norilsk Nickel elaborated corporate programs
"Professional take-off" and "Trainee" in order to bring to
life one of top-priority vectors of personnel selection
policy - engagement of young and qualified specialists to
guaranty the Company's demand in qualified personnel. The
principal milestone is target selection and invitation of HEE
graduates.
"Professional take-off" program candidates are 3-5 year
students who shall participate as trainees in real production
process, gain skills experience under the guidance of
qualified professionals , and once graduated from HEE,

experience facilitates freshmen accommodation with
independent work and reduces professional and social
adaptation terms.

in the program may count upon a corresponding hourly wage
rate or salary, while non-native students have there-and-back
transportation compensation and students dormitory
accommodation. In 2011, 544 students took part in the

"Norilsk summer academy" was held among trainees at Group
premises (272 students from 13 HEE).

tender basis. If selected, the graduate becomes a trainee and
