Dear colleagues, students, and college staff!
On September 2, 2024, The Head of State Kasym-Jomart Tokayev, in his Message to the people, declared 2025 the Year of Working Professions. On December 27, 2024, the President signed a corresponding decree. The purpose of this decision is to increase the prestige of working professions in the country and to reform the country's technical and vocational education system.
The main reason for the decision was a serious shortage of skilled workers in the country and the continuation of this trend, according to experts, in the near future – until 2030, the economy of Kazakhstan will need 410,000 workers, such as transport drivers, welders, finishers, plumbers, plasterers, tractor drivers, builders, installers and others. The training of such highly demanded workers should be carried out by organizations of technical and vocational education.
In order to increase the prestige of working professions and reform technical and vocational education, the Government has approved the Republican Plan for the Year of Working Professions, which includes 7 areas and more than 70 steps aimed at increasing the prestige of working professions, improving staff training and popularizing working careers among young people.
Kostanay Polytechnic Higher College has also developed a Plan for the Year of Working Professions, including measures to increase the prestige of working professions, the quality of training, and expand cooperation between colleges and employers, schools, and prospective applicants. The Year of Working Professions at our college is a series of exciting events and events, from new career guidance formats for schoolchildren in the region, professional skills competitions and forums for students to conferences, professional networking and creative presentations for college teachers in the region.
Dear friends! We invite you to take an active part in the events within the framework of the Year of Working Professions!
