Студенты первого курса посетили ТОО «ПИК «ASTANA Ютария ltd» и швейную фабрику QAZAQSTAN APPAREL, где ознакомились с производственными процессами, условиями труда и работой специалистов, передает официальный сайт акимата столицы.В ходе экскурсии студенты увидели, как теоретические знания, получаемые в колледже, применяются на производстве. Кроме того, они ознакомились с работой современного швейного оборудования и получили ответы на вопросы, касающиеся их будущей профессии.По словам заместителя председателя городского Центра развития инвестиций «Astana Invest» Сабита Мухамеджанулы, подготовка квалифицированных кадров — это важная часть инвестиционного развития города.«Astana Invest рассматривает развитие кадрового потенциала как важнейшую составляющую инвестиционного развития города.

В связи с этим мы способствуем развитию взаимодействия между инвесторами, производственными предприятиями и организациями технического и профессионального образования», — сказал он.По его словам, такой подход позволяет готовить специалистов с учетом потребностей бизнеса, а студентам — осваивать практические навыки непосредственно на предприятиях.Мастер производственного обучения Галина Анатольевна отметила, что дуальная система обучения дает студентам возможность на раннем этапе увидеть свое будущее рабочее место. По её словам, ранее ряд выпускников, обучавшихся в колледже, прошли производственную практику и впоследствии трудоустроились на эти предприятия.

По его словам, студенты проходят практику на фабрике и выполняют реальные производственные задачи вместе со швеями. В процессе работы их деятельность контролируют и направляют специалисты предприятия. Кроме того, студенты могут получать оплату в зависимости от выполненной работы.«Мы всегда открыты для молодежи.

President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev attends Opening Ceremony of the Astana AI Film Festival 06.10.2026
President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev addressed the Astana AI Film Festival – the first international competition for films created using artificial intelligence. The President highlighted the unique nature of the event. “The Astana AI Film Festival is a one-of-a-kind project through which proactive, educated, innovative, and creative citizens can showcase their talents. This is a competition of sharp minds and bold initiatives. The modern era is defined by knowledge, science, and innovation. Artificial intelligence has brought about fundamental changes across all sectors of the global economy. In short, technological progress has taken on a truly global scale,” Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated. President of Kazakhstan described the festival as clear evidence of the rapid development of Kazakhstan’s creative industries. As he noted, the country is taking concrete measures to build a fully-fledged ecosystem in this sector and provide comprehensive support for talented individuals. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the necessity of using artificial intelligence responsibly. “Today, as technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, many politicians, scientists, and tech leaders have raised concerns about the growing power of AI and the risks of its uncontrolled use. At the same time, one thing is clear: this tendency or way of things is irreversible. I think no one will argue with this. Throughout history, we have seen how the fire of Prometheus was regarded as a symbol of progress and a source of destructive power. Nuclear energy is one example. Therefore, we need to consider safety with the highest duty and establish common “rules of the game” for the responsible development and use of Artificial Intelligence for the secured future of the younger generation. At the same time, we must do everything we can to unlock the enormous creative potential of future tech. That is the main idea behind the AI Film Festival,” the President said. In concluding his remarks, President of Kazakhstan highlighted the festival's international scope. According to the data, the competition received over 8,000 entries from 125 countries, including the USA, India, China, South Korea, the UK, Indonesia, Japan, Brazil, and France.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-rabat/press/news/details/1305332?lang=ru

Delegation of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan Participated in the VII Congress of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts 06.10.2026
On 1–2 October 2026, the VII Congress of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts and Equivalent Institutions (AACC) was held in Samarkand under the theme “Constitutional Justice in the Context of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence.”The international forum brought together the heads of constitutional and supreme courts from more than 20 countries, representatives of international organizations, and leading legal experts.The Kazakhstan delegation was headed by Bakyt Nurmukhanov, Deputy Chairperson of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan.During the first plenary session, dedicated to the digitalization of constitutional justice, he presented Kazakhstan’s experience and approaches to the use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in the field of constitutional review. Bakyt Nurmukhanov spoke about the practical application of digital solutions in the work of the Constitutional Court, including audio and video recording of court hearings, remote participation of parties to constitutional proceedings, electronic document management, and the “e-Otinish” platform, which enables citizens to submit applications to the Court electronically.“Digitalization of constitutional justice is a strategically important area of development. However, given the special role of a constitutional court as a guarantor of human rights and the stability of the legal order, the introduction of new technologies should be accompanied by the proactive improvement of the legal frameworks governing their use. Artificial intelligence can become an effective tool for improving access to constitutional justice; however, responsibility for decisions taken must remain exclusively with humans. Technology should assist judges and applicants, but should not replace them,” Bakyt Nurmukhanov emphasized.During the Congress, participants discussed the independence of the judiciary in the context of digital transformation, the protection of human rights and the rule of law in the digital environment, the legal limits of the use of artificial intelligence, personal data protection, cybersecurity, and procedural safeguards.The event concluded with the adoption of the Samarkand Declaration, aimed at further improving constitutional justice, strengthening the protection of human rights and the rule of law, and expanding international cooperation among constitutional jurisdiction bodies in the context of digital and technological transformation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-samarkand/press/news/details/1305286?lang=ru

Road to Rakhman Keys Opened 05.10.2026
In East Kazakhstan Region, the repair of a 13-kilometre section of the Ust-Kamenogorsk – Altai – Ulken Naryn – Katon-Karagay – Rakhman Keys highway, between kilometres 437 and 450, has been completed.Previously, this section had no asphalt pavement, while the challenging mountainous terrain significantly hindered traffic. Following the completion of the repair works, the section now has a full road surface, which will improve the comfort and safety of travel to one of the region’s most well-known tourist destinations.As part of the project, four bridges and 23 water-crossing structures were constructed. The works were carried out in high-altitude conditions and on challenging terrain.Due to the location of the road section within a national park, special requirements had to be observed during construction. As a result, blasting methods were not used. Rock formations were processed using specialized machinery, and the resulting material was used to construct the road base.Previously, it took up to 2.5–3 hours to travel the 13-kilometre section without an asphalt surface. The opening of the upgraded road will significantly improve transport accessibility to Rakhman Keys.To improve convenience for tourists, the project also includes stopping areas and viewing platforms offering views of the surrounding mountain landscapes and Mount Muztau (Belukha).Rakhman Keys is one of the most well-known tourist destinations in East Kazakhstan and attracts travellers every year from different regions of Kazakhstan as well as from abroad.In addition, a project to construct a new world-class health resort is planned at Rakhman Keys. Its implementation will provide an additional impetus to the development of the region’s tourism and health-resort infrastructure.The development of road infrastructure is one of the key conditions for improving access to tourist destinations, increasing tourist flows and creating new opportunities for tourism development in the Katon-Karagay District and East Kazakhstan Region as a whole.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tourism-vko/press/news/details/1304938?lang=ru
