On September 6, 2023, Chief Researcher E-Tech Hub Bibol Zhakipbayev held an outreach workshop on applying for the Tech Orda program from Astana Hub.
The seminar was attended by 1st year students of the Natural-Engineering Faculty, group JB613-23 – “Computer Science and Software”, group JB6138-23 – “Information Systems”, group JB1509-23 – “Pedagogical Informatics”, group JB1508-23 – “Pedagogical mathematics”; as well as Master of Science, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Informatics and Mathematics Bugibayev Erlan.
Tech Orda is a program aimed at developing human capital in the IT field. The program provides funding for the training of individuals in order to train IT specialists. Each student (18-45 years old) will be able to receive a grant (quota, voucher) in the amount of up to 600000 tenge, which can be used to pay for training in various IT specialties in accredited private schools.
In the September Message, the Head of State set specific tasks for the Government to support IT and digitalization. Increased attention to the issues of digitalization and innovation is always relevant. We are facing a strategically important task – to turn Kazakhstan into an IT country. The new task of the Government is to bring the export of IT services to $1 billion by 2026 and prepare an additional 20000 IT-specialists by 2025.
It is safe to say that students of the Peoples’ Friendship University named after academician A.Kuatbekov are ready for new challenges in the IT field and become highly qualified IT-specialists.
