In addition to the partner organizations of the project, representatives of other enterprises of Kazakhstan took part in the meeting. During the meeting were discussed following questions: the skills and competencies necessary for graduates of the Industrial Automatization and Robotics educational program, the content of the educational program, the possibility and conditions for employers to participate in the dual educational program, the methodology of organizing dual training (the “university-enterprise” study scheme).

On Friday, May 15, Professor H. Hochrinner, professor at the Austrian project partner university of the FH Joanneum, held a three-hour webinar on the methodology for developing a dual educational program and the dual learning process. Professor H. Hohrinner explained in detail the key points of the organization of dual learning from the experience of his university. To date, researchers at KEEU, INEU and WKATU have developed educational programs for industrial automatization and robotics, so the issues of the dual training process and the search for a scheme for cooperation with enterprises are relevant for Kazakhstani universities. The experience of Austrian colleagues as one of the leaders of dual education along with German universities is very useful for Kazakhstani partners, but not the whole methodology is applicable in the realities of Kazakhstan. Therefore, the project teams of three Kazakhstani universities have a lot of work to do in search of their own path to the development of dual education in the Republic.
