Talent development

Uralchem is convinced that the professional and personal growth of its employees guarantees a successful future. That is why our staff can expand their education using various programmes and platforms, including online courses, and successfully build a career in the Company.

   Key corporate employee development programmes include:

• developing internal training centres
• introducing digital educational services
• introducing a sectoral system of professional qualifications
• creating a performance management system

We implement a set of long-term corporate programmes in vocational training, managerial and leadership development, and activities to attract young people to our production facilities and create conditions for professional self-realisation and career growth. The programmes cover three main areas:

• compulsory vocational training for workers and specialists

• functional training

• management training

Uralchem provides on-going training for its employees to continuously expand and deepen their competencies and improve their professional knowledge. This applies to all categories of employees, from managers to workers. Training is conducted through an internal educational platform that allows all employees to take online courses and develop their competencies at any convenient time. All of the Company’s business units are connected to the educational platform that collects expert information on the specificities of Uralchem’s production facilities, offers vocational training courses in workers’ specialties, and provides access to technical literature on various topics. The transition to online training has allowed for faster and broader employee training.

Individual development programmes

Uralchem seeks to award employees for their individual achievements, and so the Company’s production facilities are launching a system of individual development programmes, which allows employees to set individual development goals with guidance from their superiors.

The system is based on collective and individual KPIs and uses the MyGoals platform to set semi-annual and annual goals.

A feedback mechanism was introduced to allow employees to receive advice and be rated not only by their immediate supervisors but also by peers.

Attracting and retaining talents

As part of our efforts to develop human capital and train qualified specialists, Uralchem is strengthening its cooperation with educational institutions at all levels. We are establishing a continuous development pathway that begins with school curricula and continues through vocational and higher education, on-the-job training at our operations, and subsequent employment. In 2025, Uralchem collaborated with 42 educational partners, including 21 higher education institutions and 21 secondary vocational schools, spanning nine regions of Russia.

Uralchem organises contests, academic competitions, and quizzes for pre-school children to foster an interest in science and engineering from an early age. We also hold career guidance events, open classes, and hands-on workshops for schoolchildren. In 2025, we held over 200 career guidance events for children and students and organised work camp sessions for schoolchildren.
