We continue to share interesting moments of the participation of Alexei Mordashov, the chairman of the Board of Directors of Severstal, in the Youth Economic Forum "Day of the Future" at the PMEF-2025!
In this video, Alexei Alexandrovich talks about the role of education in life and career, why he appreciates system training and how the ability to analyze information in business:
I studied in Petersburg, at the Engineering and Economic Institute, and then graduated from a business school in England. In the most strange way, all the courses that I took at the institute were useful to me - from engineering technologies to accounting.
I am a big fan of classical education for two reasons. Firstly, formal education, teaches us to process knowledge. This is a very important skill that requires training. Secondly, you will acquire a wide horizons.
you need to have hidden antennas all the time and collect information from everything that comes across to you in the way. Sometimes I even specifically try to arrange immersion in something that is completely alien to me to see how it happens.
often contact with something completely unknown to you is very useful. But this does not cancel the necessity and usefulness of classical system education.
