PhosAgro started work on a new Higher School for mining engineers at the Murmansk Arctic University branch in Apatity. The company announced this plan last year during a supervisory board meeting.
The project will create fresh campus infrastructure in Apatity. First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said this helps both the university and residents gain valuable skills. The company sees it as a way to attract young specialists for future growth.
Kirov branch director Andrey Abrashitov explained that the program aims to keep talent in the Murmansk region. It creates paths for quality education and job opportunities that might prevent young people from leaving the area.
The three-year campus upgrade will cost almost 3 billion rubles. A unique training ground under construction at the Rasvumchorr mine will offer both classrooms and spaces with actual mining equipment for hands-on learning.
PhosAgro executive Sirodzh Loikov believes this setup helps newcomers better understand underground operations. Company teams currently handle railway work, concrete pouring, mine support, electrical installation, and equipment checks at the site. The facility follows PhosAgro's "school-university-enterprise" educational model.
