The first vocational class was established under the patronage of Budimex

Educational programmes and cooperation with technical schools in Poland are consistently developed by Budimex. One of the examples of these activities is the launch of the first class of patronage with a railway profile in the School Complex No. 2 in Koluszki. It is a class educating in the profession of electric power technician of rail transport, preparing students to work in the dynamically developing sector of railway and power infrastructure.

Koluszki is an important railway junction and an important transfer point in central Poland. The city provides convenient connections with, among m.in, Warsaw, Łódź, Częstochowa and Radom, which is why the launch of a patronage class here is of particular importance. The substantive support for this initiative is provided by the Electric Power Construction Division of Budimex SA, which is dynamically developing its activities in the area of railway power engineering and high and highest voltages, implementing contracts throughout Poland including, m.in the reconstruction, construction and modernization of railway and tram overhead contact lines, medium voltage power engineering, as well as power stations and transmission lines of high and highest voltages.

The new classroom is an ideal place for young people interested in modern railways, technology and practical professional experience. The field of study focuses on issues related to railway power engineering, railway and tram overhead contact line, power supply systems, as well as the implementation and supervision of infrastructure investments. The curriculum has been developed in cooperation with Budimex experts and responds to the real needs of the labour market. Students of the patronage class will gain access to a number of benefits supporting professional development. The program includes, among m.in, motivational scholarships, awards for academic achievements, as well as equipping with the necessary educational materials. Budimex will also provide the opportunity to complete internships as part of the curriculum, and adult students will also provide paid summer internships.

Education in the railway class includes both theoretical knowledge and practical preparation for the profession. Students will have the opportunity to participate in classes conducted by industry specialists, visits to construction sites and professional internships carried out on infrastructure projects. Thanks to the school’s cooperation with Budimex, students will gain competences to work on the construction and modernization of railway lines, stations and power supply systems. A key element of the program is also the career path after completing education. Graduates of the patronage class will be given the opportunity to work at Budimex.

” At Budimex, we consistently support the development of technical education in Poland, because we believe that modern infrastructure needs well-prepared staff. For us, patronage classes are not only a form of cooperation with schools, but above all a long-term investment in the development of young people, professional competences and the future of the entire industry. We want to combine education with practice and create real opportunities for students to enter the labour market ,” says Anna Karyś-Sosińska, Member of the Management Board, Director of the Human Resources Management Division at Budimex SA.

” We want to build a strong team of experts and strengthen Budimex’s position as one of the leading power contractors in Poland. The growing portfolio of contracts in the railway, tram, DSO and PSE areas means that we are constantly in need of new specialists. The patronage class in Koluszki is also an opportunity for us to support young people in acquiring specific competencies and consciously entering the labour market in an industry with high development potential ,” emphasizes Piotr Deredas, Director of the Power Engineering Division at Budimex SA.

The patronage class in Koluszki is the first initiative of this type implemented by Budimex. Budimex consistently supports the strengthening of professional competences of the young generation by engaging in projects for technical education. So far, the company has signed 27 cooperation agreements with universities and 54 strategic partnerships with schools throughout Poland. At the same time, Budimex cooperates with universities and technical universities, offering internships, internships and participation in educational and research and development projects.
