Experts from the Polish PZK and OSPWZK Appointed to the National Team of Industry Consultants
Two members of the Polish Stone Association (Polski Związek Kamieniarstwa) – Michał Firlej and Piotr Śledź, along with a Board Member of the All-Poland Association of Stone Product Manufacturers (Ogólnopolskie Stowarzyszenie Producentów Wyrobów z Kamienia) – Włodzimierz Ratajczak, have received official appointments from the Minister of Education to the National Team of Industry Consultants in the field of stonemasonry. This is a significant moment for the entire stone industry in Poland.
This is not only a prestigious recognition for the experts themselves but also a clear signal that the stone industry is increasingly making its mark in the national discussion regarding the future of vocational education and the labor market.
The National Team of Industry Consultants plays an essential role in the development of vocational education. The experts co-create the directions of changes in curricula, evaluate systemic solutions, and identify key competencies for future specialists and industry employees. The presence of stone industry representatives in this group means a real impact on training new generations of stonemasons and developing a modern education model that meets market needs.
It is also an important step toward the further professionalization of the sector and building a strong representation for the industry at the national level.
As the organizers of the STONE trade fair, we are pleased to observe our industry patron's efforts toward community development, education, and the promotion of the stonemasonry profession. Today, cooperation between business, industry organizations, and education is one of the key elements in building the future of modern stonemasonry.
Congratulations, and we wish you highly fruitful work!
