The oil-gas sector is the basis of the country's economic independence

The country’s oil-gas industry veterans are ready to help Satbayev University’s students in organizing the practical classes at the leading oil-gas enterprises of Kazakhstan.

Turyssov.

The oil-gas industry veterans spoke on the formation and prospects for develoing the oil industry in Kazakhstan over the years of independence.

— A comparative analysis of the world’s leading countries’ economic indicators in recent years has shown that hydrocarbon raw materials will remain the main energy source in modern society for many decades to come, both in industry and transport, as well as in agriculture and everyday life, — considers Mussabek Isayev, the former head of Oil Industry Department at RK Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry.

Therefore, according to veterans, it is crucial to maintain the qualitative training of highly qualified specialists for oil-gas industry.

In the issue related to employment of graduates, the manufacturing enterprises’ interest is of great importance.

Veterans believe that oil and gas industry, as well as industry entities, need to provide opportunities for compulsory employment of graduates.

Veterans highly appreciated the training quality of specialists at Satbayev University on the example of professional achievements of university graduates and made a proposal for the employment of students after commencement.
