Turkistan region hosts job fair

A job fair was held in Turkistan, where students were shown innovative technologies developed in the region. Organizers aimed to engage the younger generation and those still undecided about their career paths. The event highlighted in-demand jobs, with 30 largest companies of the region offering over 2,000 vacancies. Colleges also discussed how they are adapting to market needs, announcing 11 new vocational courses, including agrochemistry, information security, elevator systems and escalator production, cotton processing, and air drone operation. Notably, one of the vocational schools in Turkistan has developed its own drone, with young engineers working on its design and software.

«We are building drones from scratch: designing and programming them. In the future, this will provide significant support to engineers. Today, drones are in high demand worldwide, so our college has decided to focus on this field,» said programmer Gairat Ostanov.

Today, more than 45,000 students are enrolled in 50 colleges in the region, with 16,000 of them pursuing vocational specialties. At the beginning of the year, a regional employment map was approved, which aims to employ 130,000 people in the Turkistan region, including 75,000 in skilled trades.
