Uzbekistan intends to establish a specialized center for training specialists in the fields of microelectronics, mechatronics, and integrated circuit design. This initiative is being implemented through cooperation between the Ministry of Poverty Reduction and Employment of Uzbekistan and the Penang Skills Development Centre (PSDC) of Malaysia.
The new center will operate under the supervision of qualification assessment centers overseen by the ministry. The main focus will be on vocational training and skills assessment in areas demanded by modern technological industries.
Citizens will be able to improve their qualifications and acquire new professional skills through the Professional Voucher system. The goal of this project is to expand opportunities for vocational education in areas such as microelectronics, mechatronics, and integrated circuit design (IC Design).
