«In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in interest in the IT sphere in the country as a result of its proactive policy…Modern IT schools add to the personnel base necessary for an innovative economy. The policy is underway to spread such schools across the regions. As part of the TechOrda program, training at advanced private IT schools using a voucher system for Kazakhstanis wishing to master IT specialties was considered,» said Bagdat Mussin, Kazakh Digital Development Minister, at the government meeting.

For instance, as of now, 2,000 people have mastered IT professions and got employed with the help of the program.
