A craft training course for unemployed citizens, implemented within the framework of cooperation between the Department of Employment Coordination and Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO), has been completed in Atyrau Oblast. The project has become part of measures to promote employment and the development of highly demanded working professions in the region.
The training was conducted from January to April 2026 in accredited training centers - APEC PetroTechnic, Apec Training Center, Edil-Oral.kz and Makat Oil and Gas Technological College. In 2026, 55 regional residents became participants of the program.
During the course, the students mastered specialties in demand on the labor market, including lathe operator (turning), welding, non-destructive testing, also inspection and audit of explosion-proof equipment. The program covered theoretical training and practical exercises with a focus on developing applied skills and observing industrial discipline.
As a result of the training, the participants gained new professional competencies that will allow them to increase their chances of finding employment and start working in a new profession. For many students, the course became an important step towards returning to the labor market and beginning a new professional stage. Currently, 14 students who completed the course have already found employment.
