IT center
One of the main features of the Center's work is network interaction and integration with the international park of IT startups "Astana-Hub". Currently, many startup project participants are solving the problem of creating prototypes without having a system integrator capable of quickly solving this complex task. The center will solve these problems by creating samples using available technologies of "digital" production. Currently, there are similar centers in the country, but unfortunately, with rare exceptions, outdated equipment is used and methods are used that make it difficult to attract modern youth who are "deeply immersed" in the digital world.
The purpose and objective of the center
- The Center is being created on the basis of the Aktobe Higher Polytechnic College and is its structural subdivision.
- The purpose of the Center is to create a multi–level system for training IT specialists at the request of potential employers.
- The achievement of this goal will be ensured by solving the following tasks:
- 1.1. Creation of a system of advanced training of teachers corresponding to modern requirements, taking into account the prospects for the development of information technologies.
- 1.2. Interaction with interested enterprises, companies and organizations representing the field of information technology and involvement of highly qualified representatives of the informatization industry in teaching IT disciplines.
- 1.3. Creation of a joint platform for the acceleration of talented youth.
- 1.4. Formation of a professional and expert community in accordance with the requirements of WorldSkills.
- 1.5. Creation of a methodological base for training professionals in the competencies "Network and system administration", "Web design", "Graphic design", "CAD engineering graphics" using international experience.
- 1.6. Organization and conduct of qualification examinations (qualification tests).
- 1.7. Formation of a partner network of educational organizations (industry training centers, educational organizations, etc.)
- 1.8. Formation of a business direction by including soft-skills in the framework of professions: business incubator, business club, funding and grants.
- 1.9. Organization of own events aimed at the development and promotion of the industry (exhibitions, conferences, seminars and master classes).
- 2.0. International cooperation with other IT centers, universities, colleges and training centers.
- 2.1. Development and participation in the system of international and republican contests and conferences in the field of information technology.
