In the next five years, Kazakhstan intends to allocate about 118 billion tenge for the development of the dual training program. Each year, the program will attract 22,000 young people. They are students of the 9-11th forms, who will master at least two specialties in various branches of the economy, atameken.kz reported.

"It is not by chance that the business community, along with the state, takes an active part in the dual training program. Today, business provides 80% of the gross domestic product, and we really need the modern qualified personnel. To get them, businessmen provide colleges with their personnel and technical platforms for training", Lyazzat Shonayeva, a deputy director of Human Capital Development Department of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs "Atameken" said.

According to her, in the five years that the dual training program operates, the picture with the employment of young specialists has changed qualitatively in the regions.

The program involves several parties, regional chambers of entrepreneurs, enterprises and educational institutions. These parties initially concluded memoranda of cooperation among themselves. The main task is to ensure the transparency of labor relations. Business communities will conclude labor contracts with students, and all the time that they will spend in practice - and this is two or three years, is counted as a work experience. For five works in different regions of Kazakhstan, dual training marked the main and secondary tasks that require a joint decision by the state and its partners in the business environment.

We remind that the introduction of dual training in Kazakhstan began in 2012.
