As a responsible member of the communities in which it operates, ENKA supports the formation and development of communities. This support may take the form of community investment activities and direct employment, or it may be made via the indirect employment opportunities that ENKA creates with its extensive supply chain and subcontractor network in the region concerned. The recruitment processes in the projects are carried out transparently, and the participation of the local communities in the economy is encouraged. In this context, local communities in the areas affected by the projects are given employment priority, and special programs are implemented to enhance their economic and social welfare.
In order to improve the capacities and competences of the local workforce, ENKA develops training programs for all its employees and provides them with opportunities to acquire new vocational skills as well as to develop their existing skills further. Similar development programs are also created for local suppliers and subcontractors and their personnel. In this way, local employees, local suppliers and subcontractors can benefit from their long-term experience and competences and access new job opportunities after the project is completed.
In 2025, a total of approximately 1,291,380 person-hours of training were provided at ENKA projects and the trainings benefited not only ENKA employees working on projects, but also employees of subcontractors and suppliers. To date, more than 14,475,000 person-hours of training have been delivered to support the development of professional competencies of local employees in the countries where ENKA operates.
