“Already at the stage of studies, we are ready to invite students to internships, they will have the opportunity to meet professionals in the gas industry and work with them side by side. We plan to invite the best graduates to work, which will contribute to the development of the industry and the company,” – said the Director General of Ukrtransgaz Roman Maliutin.

The signed Memorandum envisages a multilateral partnership, including the participation of the company’s representatives in the development of curricula and educational programmes, internships and practical training for students of the Educational and Research Institute of Oil and Gas, the Educational and Research Institute of Information Technologies and Robotics, the Educational and Research Institute of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Land Management of Poltava Polytechnic, and the university’s structural subdivision, Poltava College of Oil and Gas.
