On November 14, 2023, a meeting of the Industrial Committee (IC) of the School of Materials Science and Green Technologies took place at the JSC "Kazakhstan-British Technical University" (KBTU). The meeting was attended by the Dean of the School, Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences N.B. Beisenkhanov, partners from LLP "TechnoGroupService" J.B. Mominbaev and K.G. Abenov, as well as invited members of the IC.
The School of Materials Science and Green Technologies (SMGT) was established at KBTU based on the Laboratory of Alternative Energy and Nanotechnologies and the Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Technologies. Nanotechnologies cover an interdisciplinary area at the intersection of fundamental and applied directions in science and technology. This field has become relevant as it allows the formation of material structures at the nanoscale and modification of the properties of nanomaterials, thereby contributing to their integration into various industries and sciences. Photovoltaics is one of the renewable energy directions developed using nanotechnologies.
During the meeting, a presentation on "Human Resources Provision in the Power Industry" was delivered by the Expert on Project Development and Digital Transformation at JSC "COREM," Dr. PhD A.A. Saukhimov. The presenter extensively covered topics such as workforce shortages in the industry, professional standards, job positions, and the digital power platform developed by JSC "COREM." The material generated significant interest as issues related to industrial internship, choosing a thesis topic, and the subsequent employment of SMGT graduates are crucial for the Industrial Committee.
Summing up the meeting, the Chairman of the Industrial Committee of SMGT, J.B. Mominbaev, emphasized the need to conduct a survey of SMGT students to increase the employment rate of graduates to 94%, aligning with the current best result of the School of Energy and Oil and Gas Industry of JSC "KBTU."
