Mieczysław Żuraw is not surprised by the nomination. “My company has been operating on the market for 15 years; for the past three years we have been training young people,” says the entrepreneur. “I am very pleased with working with young people.”
Halina Pieniądz and Bożena Mucha, co-owners of the Fantazja clothing store, share a similar view. “We like working with young people,” admits Halina Pieniądz. “It is clear that trainees are different. Some of them really want to learn the trade and put a great deal of heart and commitment into their learning. We, in turn, try to instill in them kindness toward people, reliability and honesty,” adds Bożena Mucha.
Both co-owners have been training trainees for 20 years. As they emphasize, their former students easily find work. “The women who currently employ our trainees tell us that these girls know their trade very well,” says Bożena Mucha.
