One can decide on his/her future profession, starting from primary school age. There are special programmes at industrial enterprises and, in a certain way, prepared areas, where schoolchildren, starting from primary school age, can try themselves in the labour process. The trend of recent years is the surplus of vacancies in blue-collar jobs. This was announced today by Deputy Minister Almaz Khusainov and Labour Minister Elmira Zaripova at a press conference.
Among skilled trades, the most in demand are metal workers, electricians, welders, machine tool and equipment adjusters, machine operators, turners, millers. Among professionals with secondary vocational education, the most demanded jobs are experts in installation and maintenance of industrial equipment, automatic control systems, experts in operation and maintenance of electrical and electromechanical equipment, and maintenance of aircraft and engines.
