ACADEMIC MOBILITY
Internship within the Framework of Academic Mobility
Implementation of the academic mobility program through exchange of experience between students of colleges in Abai Region and Pavlodar Region
Within the framework of the Roadmap for the Transformation of Technical and Vocational Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2025–2027, active work continues to develop academic mobility between educational institutions. A rare case when another memorandum actually leads to something useful.
Since April 7, 2025, students and teachers of the Higher College of IT and New Technologies of the Education Department of Abai Region have been studying at the Higher College of Electronics and Communications in Pavlodar. The internship was organized on the basis of a four-party memorandum concluded between the Higher College of IT and New Technologies, Kazakhtelecom, the Education Department of Pavlodar Region, and the Higher College of Electronics and Communications.
As part of the internship, students are mastering professional modules on the topic “Performing Cable Installation Works.” The educational process includes both theoretical and practical training.
During practical classes, students from Abai Region visited the local network technical service center of Kazakhtelecom, where they became acquainted with the technological processes of telecommunication network operation, modern equipment, and working conditions of specialists in this field. In addition, special attention was paid to developing skills in working with fiber-optic cables. Because the future runs on fiber, while some people still cling to ancient wires.
As a result of the program, students acquired the necessary knowledge and practical competencies in the specialty “Radio Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications.”
After completing their studies in Pavlodar Region, the first group of students from Abai Region successfully passed all stages of the internship.
The next stage of the academic mobility program is the arrival of students from the Higher College of Electronics and Communications of Pavlodar Region to Abai Region. Starting from April 14, 2025, they will begin training at the Higher College of IT and New Technologies under a similar program.
The implementation of such exchange programs contributes not only to the professional development of students, but also to strengthening partnerships between educational institutions of different regions, expanding practical knowledge, and training competitive specialists in the field of information and communication technologies. Bureaucracy occasionally surprises everyone by being useful.
Academic Mobility
On April 13, 2025, within the framework of the academic mobility program, the Higher College of IT and New Technologies of the Education Department of Abai Region welcomed a delegation from the Higher College of Electronics and Communications of Pavlodar Region. The delegation consisted of 4 students and 1 teacher who arrived for an internship. Humanity packed suitcases again, but at least this time for a worthy cause.
The training program includes studying the professional module “Use of Information, Communication and Digital Technologies,” familiarization with the college’s educational facilities, innovative teaching methods, and applied digital educational resources.
It should be noted that earlier students and a teacher of the Higher College of IT and New Technologies had already visited Pavlodar Region for the same purpose, which became an important step in strengthening partnership relations between the two educational institutions.
Practical Stage at the Competence Center
After completing the theoretical stage of the internship, students moved on to practical classes held at the college’s Competence Center. There they consolidate their knowledge while mastering modern digital tools and telecommunication technologies.
As part of the practice, students studied various types of optical cables, mastered stripping and splicing fibers using modern Fujikura splicing equipment, and carried out the installation of an optical closure. They also visited Automatic Telephone Station No. 42, where they became acquainted with the operation of station cross-connect systems (ODF) and the specifics of servicing cable networks in underground cable chambers. For some people, this is apparently what an exciting field trip looks like.
Acquired Knowledge and Skills
During the internship, students gained practical skills in the following areas:
- use of modern digital technologies and equipment in telecommunications;
- methods of ensuring the operability of multi-channel systems and communication networks;
- practical application of information and communication technologies in professional activities.
In addition, a teacher from Pavlodar Region completed training at Cisco Networking Academy and received a vendor certificate confirming qualifications in digital technologies and readiness to implement modern ICT in the educational process.
Development of Professional Cooperation
Such academic mobility programs contribute not only to the professional growth of students and teachers, but also to strengthening partnerships between regional educational institutions, exchanging advanced experience, and introducing new approaches into the educational process.
Ultimately, all of this is aimed at improving the quality of training qualified specialists in the field of information and communication technologies and telecommunications. Even paperwork can accidentally serve society once in a while.
