Divisions of the Company
When the Republic of Kazakhstan decided to implement the dual education system, Innovation and Technology College was chosen as one of two experimental sites in South Kazakhstan. Modern manufacturing necessitates ready-made specialists who, from the start, will have clear ideas about tasks and technologies for their implementation. This is where dual education comes in handy: the close connection of theory and practice, educational institution and training production. The college is currently a regional leader in implementing a dual education system.
Dual training is a promising program for specialized training. Graduates of such programs find it easy to find work, and they can handle production tasks quickly and easily.
Offices outfitted with cutting-edge technology are available at «SOUTH-OIL» enterprises for this purpose. Students receive practical training at the «Kenlik» field in the Kyzylorda region from «SOUTH-OIL», and they live in an equipped rotation village. Classrooms are also available at the «Ontustik Kurylys Service» LLP and «Standard-Cement» LLP plants.
Cooperation with educational institutions and production enables the company to annually educate all categories of workers, decide on specific innovative tasks, and work in intensive, developing production conditions.
In addition, the management of «SOUTH-OIL», «South Construction Service», «Oil Construction Service», and «Standard-Cement» assists college teachers with workplace internships.
Every year, under the supervision of teachers and industrial training masters, college students compete in regional professional excellence competitions «World Skills Kazakhstan» in the competencies «Bricklaying», «Dry building mixes», and «Web design», «Hotel receptionist», where they regularly win prizes. College students have been ranked first in the competence of “Hotel receptionist” for the past three years, and they have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and abilities at republican competitions. Diplomas and valuable gifts were given to students and their supervisors.
