OREANDA-NEWS. November 24, 2011. Two DTEK’s HR programs received the highest appraisal of the experts of the first national contest Award HR-BRAND Ukraine-2011. Corporate university, DTEK Academy, won in the category “Ukraine”, and DTEK Generation project focused on company’s cooperation with target universities took silver in the category “Regions”.

“We are thankful to the experts, who have highly appraised our systematic work with students as potential DTEK employees and have confirmed that DTEK is one of the most attractive Ukrainian employers. The Award HR-BRAND Ukraine-2011 gave us great pleasure to learn from experience of our colleagues, and hopefully our practices were also helpful for them.
