In the Kyrgyz Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Migration, an important agreement was signed with the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), dedicated to a regional project called "Green Skills for a Green Economy in Central Asia."
Participating in the ceremony were Minister Kanat Sagynbaev, Ministry staff, and GIZ project leader Udo Volkers.
At the event, Kanat Sagynbaev emphasized that this agreement represents a significant step in strengthening the partnership between the Ministry and GIZ. This project will create new opportunities for improving vocational education and increasing the competitiveness of the workforce in the "green" sectors of the economy.
The Minister highlighted the importance of forming modern competencies and developing "green" skills in the context of transitioning to sustainable and environmentally-oriented economic development. The implementation of this project will prepare specialists for "green" industries and expand employment opportunities for the population.
The goal of the regional project is to increase the employment level of youth and adults in Central Asian countries. Within the framework of the project, support will be provided for the development and implementation of new methodologies aimed at developing "green" skills and professions that take into account the needs of an environmentally-oriented economy. The main areas of training specialists include solar technologies, energy efficiency, rational use of water resources, and waste management.
In addition, the project envisions the modernization of educational programs, the introduction of innovative forms of training, and the exchange of best practices among countries in the region. It is expected that this will lead to expanded employment opportunities for graduates and improve the alignment of educational programs with labor market demands.
