This allows us to integrate authorized preparation tracks into our curriculum and issue internationally recognized certificates that are acknowledged by employers worldwide and confirm the high qualification status of our graduates. Integrated Employment System (Career Center) We guide each student to a concrete outcome — receiving a job offer. Our Career Development Center provides full support: from portfolio verification on GitHub/Behance to direct recruiting at partner companies. Thanks to this system, over 85% of our graduates successfully find employment at leading IT companies in Kazakhstan and abroad within the first 6 months.
