The Engineering School of "Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex" JSC (AMMC) is the Complex's most advanced educational division, specializing in the systematic upskilling and professional retraining of personnel in mining and metallurgy, energy, automation, and mechanical engineering.

Established at the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the leadership of "Almalyk MMC" JSC, the Engineering School was founded in May 2024.

In accordance with the official order on the Complex's organizational structure dated February 25, 2026, the Engineering School's separation from the Complex's Training Center into an independent structural division was confirmed. The school now reports directly to the Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of "Almalyk MMC" JSC for Personnel and Social Affairs.

The Engineering School has the capacity to train 160 engineers and upskill more than 1,000 workers and staff annually. The academic building houses 4 laboratories and 8 classrooms equipped with the latest technology.

OUR CORE OBJECTIVES AND TASKS

• Building a talent reserve: Creating a reserve of promising, technically literate personnel for the industrial and mining-metallurgical sectors, capable of managing modern technologies.
• Upskilling Combine employees: Regularly improving the qualifications of the workers and engineering-technical staff of enterprises within "Almalyk MMC" JSC.
• Training specialists for new capacities: Filling the more than 5,500 new technical jobs being created within the Complex's major investment projects, including the development of Copper Concentrator Plant No. 3 (CCP-3) and the "Yoshlik-1" deposit, with qualified personnel.
• Supporting young people: Assisting college graduates without professional skills and unemployed youth through free retraining courses and providing technical skills for subsequent employment.

OUR ADVANTAGES

• Dual education system (40/60): Training is organized on a dual system: 40% of classes cover theoretical knowledge, and 60% are devoted to building practical skills at the Combine's real production sites.
• Short and efficient duration: The length of the training programs ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on the chosen specialty.
• Training on simulators: Before working with real equipment, trainees build initial skills on safe and cost-effective simulators (virtual welding, etc.).
• Instructors with 10 years of experience: Classes are led by qualified instructors with at least 10 years of successful practical experience in production.
• Employment opportunity: The licensed professional certificates awarded to graduates give them an advantage in the hiring process at the Complex's enterprises.
