OREANDA-NEWS. On 17 April 2008 was announced, that nowadays it is not very easy to find a good gas-electric welder or a professional lathe operator, as for a geologist or surveyor – it is even more difficult. That is why, from now on in Bogatyr Access Komyr (BAK) LLP they are intended to pay the closest attention. A few days ago General Director signed the order according to which seven graduates of the professional school #18 and Ekibastuz polytechnic college were awarded with nominal scholarships. These young people passed the special selection for professional appropriateness. For three months they will be receiving the monetary reward in the amount of 15 thousand tenge, and after the finals, in a month of rest, they will join the big family of BAK miners.

- Currently the company undertakes the lack of good workers – Erken Rakhmangulov, BAK Personnel Director says, - we need qualified lathe operators, gas and electric welders, rolling stock repair men, electric repair men for repair and maintenance of industrial equipment, mining electromechanics, and others. Awarding the nominal scholarships to the young people, we give them a chance to seriously treat the graduation of an educational institution, inculcate the feeling of responsibility for the future. By the way, beginning from the next school year we will be awarding nominal scholarships to the best pupils of the professional school and college, which they will be getting during the whole training course.

In September of last year in BAK LLP they decided to patronize six students of Ekibastuz Engineering and Technical Institute. These are young boys and girls, who did not get enough points for receiving the state educational grant, but having the good potential for successful study. The main thing, however, is they entered the faculties, at which they train specialists for the very deficit professions for our company – a geologist, surveyor, mechanic, technologist and others. So far the company paid for the first year of their study in the institute. But the young people have nothing to worry about: BAK LLP is obliged to allocate monetary grants to them before graduation of the educational institution. In its own turn the institute assured that it will not raise payment for their study during the whole training course.
