21. Professional training (skilled workforce) in the Hungarian Steel Industry • There is a lack of professionals in a lot of professions in other areas there are too many. The number of vocational students is continuously decreasing. The school-system training of the traditional metallurgists professions (smelter, roller, caster, etc.) has practically ceased by the end of the millennium. • There are fewer and fewer courses at the higher-level professional training in the traditional metallurgical field. • Supplying the skilled workforce has required serious organizational and financial efforts from the steel industrial companies in the past years and even presently as well.
