26.06.2026 at ALT University named after M. Tynyshpayev, an online foresight session was held on the topic “Dual learning: practice-oriented orientation of Educational Programs: Interaction with production,” organized by the Department of Rolling Stock.
The event brought together the management of ALT University, faculty, and key employers of the industry: KTZh-Freight Transportation LLP represented by General Director (Chairman of the Management Board) Asan Iztleuovich Umbetov, EKZ – Alstom Kazakhstan – Production Director Ibrayev Beibit Maksutovich, Vagonservis JSC – Mysagitov Nurgazy Tuleukazyly, “Shyngar trans LLP” – Tabazhanova Zhanargul. The main goal of the meeting is the joint development, forecasting and adaptation of Educational Programs (OP) to the real needs of the modern labor market using the example of educational programs: 6B07137 – Rolling stock engineering, 6B07187 – Car complex engineering management, 6B07191 – Locomotive complex engineering management.
Vector for practice and quality: The foresight session has become an interactive platform for an open dialogue between the academic community and business. Participants discussed the introduction of elements of dual learning, which allows students to combine theoretical classes within the walls of the university with obtaining real production experience directly at enterprises.
Main topics of discussion: Trend forecasting: what competencies will be in demand in logistics and transport in 1-3 years. Development of OP: integration of real production cases and tasks into curricula.
Contribution to the Global Goals (UN SDGs): The last foresight session clearly demonstrates ALT’s commitment to the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 4 “Quality Education”: Increasing the practical value of the diploma and developing students’ demanded professional skills. SDG 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth: Closing the gap between training and employment, training ready professionals for the country’s economy. SDG 17, Partnership for Sustainable Development: Strengthening the strategic alliance between higher education and the real economy.
The joint work of the university and employers guarantees that ALT University graduates will have not just theoretical knowledge, but ready-made applied skills demanded by market leaders.
