Over 500 young Kazakh participants gathered
in Astana from all over the country to compete in the WorldSkills Kazakhstan
2024 national championship, showcasing their expertise across 30 skill areas.
The students demonstrate their skills in working professions and knowledge in
fields such as robotics and information technology. Notably, winners will be
selected for Kazakhstan’s national team to represent the country at the
international championships in Denmark next year and in China in 2026.
«It can be confidently said that our
students, who participated in the stages of the world championship, have
demonstrated their competitiveness by winning six medallions this year. These
awards recognize their professionalism at the global level. They showcased
their skills at the international championship held in Lyon, France,» noted Sanzhar
Tatibekov, President of the TALAP non-profit joint stock company.
Kazakh web developers have been gaining
international recognition at world championships for four consecutive years.
One of them is Ruslan Yussupov, who won two prestigious awards at the recent WorldSkills
competitions. Currently, the young programmer is mentoring and serving as an
expert, assessing the skills of participants in the national stage of the
competition.
«We develop websites, ranging from simple
web pages to large-scale web applications created by companies such as Google,
Apple, Amazon, and others. Kazakhstan is currently considered a leader among
Asian countries, and at the WorldSkills Kazakhstan 2024 championship, we
managed to surpass all other Asian countries except for South Korea, which took
first place. In the coming year, we also plan to stay on the cutting edge,» said
independent web technology expert Ruslan Yussupov.
