Practical training base

Training is conducted at the Almaty Track Distance and facilities of the branch of JSC “NC KTZ” – Almaty Main Network Division, where students:

• study the organization of track facilities;
• participate in railway track inspection and maintenance;
• become familiar with infrastructure operation and repair;
• undergo industrial practice and elements of dual education.

Forms of cooperation

• practical training at production sites;
• industrial and pre-graduation internships;
• dual training with enterprise specialists;
• guest lectures by industry engineers and managers;
• participation in real production projects.

Significance for specialist training

This model of cooperation allows:

• improving the quality of engineering education;
• ensuring the “university–industry” connection;
• accelerating graduates’ adaptation to work in railway transport systems;
• increasing the competitiveness of future engineers in the labor market.

2. Branch of the “Transport Construction” Department of ALT University named after M. Tynyshpaev JSC on the basis of LLP “Leica Geosystems Kazakhstan” this branch is an educational and production platform created to integrate the educational process with modern geodesy and engineering measurement technologies.

The branch operates based on a partnership between the university and one of the leading international companies in geospatial technologies — LLP “Leica Geosystems Kazakhstan”, which specializes in the development and implementation of high-precision surveying equipment, software, and solutions for construction and infrastructure.
