Education and ORLEN Unipetrol
As a leader in the petrochemical and refining industries and a major employer in the Czech Republic, we strive to raise public awareness of the importance of chemistry in everyday life, to increase the interest of the younger generation in the study of chemistry, and to support students and schools in their study and educational efforts. Every year, over 1,000 students visit the production sites of the ORLEN Unipetrol Group as part of excursions, and around 100 students undertake internships or paid work experience.
Over one hundred high school and college students have received scholarships to support their educational endeavours. In total, ORLEN Unipetrol and its ORLEN Unipetrol Foundation distributed nearly CZK 8 million among students and schools in the past school year.
Partner schools
We support primary and vocational secondary schools in our regions of operation. We are a partner of the EDUCHEM Secondary School in Meziboří u Litvínova, the Secondary Vocational School for Environmental Protection and Restoration – Schola Humanitas and the Secondary Industrial School and the Secondary Vocational School of Gastronomy and Services in the city of Most. Students from these schools can come to us for internships, paid summer jobs, scholarships, and other great benefits. ORLEN Unipetrol also supports partner schools with its presence at Open House days. Prospective students and their parents can also get information on the school premises.
ORLEN Unipetrol collaborates with our partner school, the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague. The company supports students not only by providing them with scholarships and specialised lectures, but also by offering them part-time work, during which they have the opportunity to combine theory with practice. Of no less importance, ORLEN Unipetrol also offers students assistance with their term papers and theses, as well as professional consultations with more experienced colleagues.
