- We can show the totality of our activities that are undertaken in the JSW Group in the area of education and training in the broadest sense - said Tomasz Cudny, President of the JSW Management Board, opening the conference in Katowice. - We all know that the coking coal we mine in our mines will be needed for many years to come, but in order to be competitive, in order to be effective, we need to keep improving, so in our company the issue of professional development and training occupies a very important place - added Tomasz Cudny.
The conference was an excellent opportunity to share experience, innovative ideas and present the full spectrum of educational activities with invited speakers. The meeting brought together experts, authorities of the scientific and educational community, as well as representatives of business and mining. They discussed the challenges facing mining vocational education and the role played by Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa and JSW Szkolenie i Górnictwo in this system.

Based on the cooperation between JSW and the AGH University of Science and Technology, ways of adapting the curricula to the challenges of the new labor market requirements were presented.
- We need to recognize the trends and innovations in mining. We know very well that sustainable mining, digitization, digitalization, data analysis and security are important things, and we are adjusting education programs and preparing training courses and postgraduate studies. However, we would also like to see implementation doctorates in these areas - said Marek Borowski, PhD hab., associate dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Resource Management at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków.
