According to the Memorandum on joint cooperation between the Innovation and Digital Development Agency (IRIA) and the State Employment Agency, vocational training in the field of ICT will be organized for jobseekers and unemployed persons within the framework of the "Technest" scholarship program. During the current year, 900 unemployed citizens will be involved in the program, and support will be provided to increase their digital literacy, as well as to provide them with employment at the next stage.
The first trainings under the program have already started on April 15 in the city of Ganja. Thus, 28 residents of Ganja joined the vocational training courses in "Help desk" and "Graphic designer" specialties.
At the moment, the regional employment branches and relevant DOST Centers are accepting citizen applications for trainings to be organized in Baku, Sumgayit, Zagatala, Ismayilli, Sabirabad, Mingachevir, Kazakh and Lankaran regions for various professions in the field of ICT.
It should be noted that the main goal of the program is to make career opportunities available to the unemployed and job seekers, as well as to provide support for increasing employment in the field of ICT.
