Kazakhstan's government, in its initial meeting following the Kurultai elections, addressed the critical issue of workforce development. Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov underscored the necessity for an accelerated approach to political and economic modernization. A central theme of the September 8 session was the country's capacity to supply an adequate number of skilled professionals to underpin its ambitious economic transformation and projected growth. Officials expressed concern that while employment opportunities exist, there is a growing deficit of individuals possessing the specific skills required to fill these roles. The country's economic projections indicate a requirement for 2.9 million specialists by 2035. Of these, 1.8 million will be needed in skilled trades. This focus highlights the government's recognition of human capital as vital for future prosperity.
