Students from Kazakh vocational education institutions to undergo internships in Germany

Students from vocational education institutions in Kazakhstan will have the opportunity to study on an exchange program in Germany, particularly in industrial settings. The Kazakh Ministry of Education has announced an agreement reached with the German association for youth support and skilled worker training. The two parties plan to collaborate on events aimed at developing technical and vocational education in Kazakhstan. The dual education program will receive special attention, enabling Kazakh students to undergo internships at any of Germany’s 60,000 industrial enterprises. This opportunity will be open to students from both public and private vocational education institutions in Kazakhstan, allowing them to gain professional skills and boost their competitiveness.

“Currently, discussions are underway regarding collaboration with colleges in Thuringia. After studying their educational model and utilizing our academic mobility, school graduates and students of vocational education institutions will have the opportunity to participate in the exchange program. Moreover, training seminars for teachers of vocational education institutions are also planned,” said Asset Mukhanbetov, spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Education.
