The opportunity to receive a study grant twice is one of the key features of the Tech Orda program. This initiative helps graduates to develop their skills and go to new career heights. But how does it work and what success stories are already inspiring new members?

The program rule allows a graduate who has successfully completed the basic course to apply for a grant for advanced training at the same school. This is especially important for those who want to take it to the next level and master more complex skills.

For example, graduates of the ONESOFT Academy of the QA Manual course have already proven their success and received a second grant for the QA Automation course. What does this mean for the participants? Here are some stories:

• Coverage of current projects with regression tests. One of the participants shared: "I work as a QA Engineer in a startup where automation is just beginning to be implemented. Now I can cover the project regression with autotests and improve the processes."
• Switching to automation. A graduate who holds the position of Manual QA in an IT company noted: "The knowledge gained will help me rewrite the current tests to improve their effectiveness."
• Preparing to return from maternity leave. One of the participants said, "Our company is switching to test automation, and this course will be an excellent base for my return to work."

The Tech Orda program helps not only to gain knowledge, but also to put it into practice. The participants note that the second grant opens up the following opportunities for them:

• Mastering advanced skills on real projects.
• Improving competitiveness in the labor market.
• Development of professional skills that are in demand by employers.

Real-life examples:

• Having mastered automation, the Service Desk specialist plans to move to the position of Junior QA within the company.
• A tester in a large bank implements autotests to optimize routine processes.
• The business analyst uses the acquired knowledge to improve the analysis and testing processes.

The year 2024 was a time of significant achievements for the Tech Orda program and its participants. Graduates demonstrate high results by receiving a second grant and opening up new horizons in their careers. Success stories inspire and show that a lot is possible with the support of Astana Hub.

Happy New Year to all graduates and participants of the program! May 2025 bring even more opportunities for development, new knowledge and bright successes. Thank you for creating the future of Kazakhstan's IT industry together with us!
