Mining Vocational Training Courses Were the Focus of a Czech TV Programme
KARVINÁ – The OKD commitment to employ all successful graduates from the mining vocational training courses taught at the Professional Training School (Střední škola techniky a služeb) has caught the attention of Czech TV. On 31st March the TV team of the “Job Hunt” programme, shown every week on ČT 2, arrived at the school in Karviná to map the situation and make all the necessary preparations for the filming there.
„We have learned that OKD provides its students with scholarships and other benefits. But to give them the guarantee that after successful graduation they will get a job sounds like a miracle nowadays,” said the Programme Director and Presenter, Jana Bohušová, when she and her crew visited the Centralised Maintenance Shop at the ČSA site of Karviná Mine, where practical training of apprentices is carried out. She also truly reported that OKD has offered jobs to electricians and mechanics graduating from courses other than mining.
„Our programme is primarily aimed at the unemployed but not only at them. It deals with the issues of hunting for a job and getting employment. Its premise is that unemployment is not particularly low in the Czech Republic and it tries to establish whether all the unemployed are really interested in getting a job. It is more an issue of the labour market and job opportunities, “ explained Bohušová.
At the Professional Training School at Karviná she was particularly interested in the attractiveness of mining training courses for young people and how they perceive their chances. She is really interested in this issue as she has got some personal experience with mining. „In the family only my husband´s father worked in the mine but, because I come from Ostrava, I have a very close relationship with everything that is black,“ she confessed.
The programme on mining vocational training at the Professional Training School at Karviná will be on ČT 2 on Tuesday 19th April at 01:15 p.m. Then it will be made available on the ČT website.
