High school students, parents, students will have free access to information about the success of educational institutions in terms of demand for their graduates in the labor market, the level of employment and wages. On the website of the Electronic labor exchange, each user has the opportunity to choose the most effective university or college in the context of the whole of Kazakhstan, a certain region, a particular specialty or a specific direction.
The rating was compiled by specialists of "Center for labor resources development" JSC in December 2018 by order of the Ministry of labor and social protection of population. The choice of the best and the worst educational institutions was made not on the basis of surveys, but on the specific results of employment of graduates, their level of salary, stability of work. This makes the rating objective and independent. In comparison, the data used were almost 200 thousand graduates of 101 universities and more than 300 thousand graduates of 766 colleges of the country who graduated in 2015-2017.
Special service for choosing the best educational institution, posted on the website https://www.enbek.kz/ru/ratings/2018 , is a set of filters. It is easy to use it, just make a couple of clicks. The results are presented in the form of a table with the possibility of free download.
"This is actually not one rating, but fourteen. Anyone can see what specialties are most in demand by employers, universities in which regions are better or worse. The architecture of the site allows you to make various comparisons. For example, an applicant wants to get higher education in the specialty "Information systems". With the help of the rating, he can see in which university of Kazakhstan the highest percentage of employment of graduates in this direction, in which region such specialists receive the highest salary", - comments Vice-President of "CLRD" JSC Tahir Aslyaliev.
The rating will be useful both for applicants and for students who would like to transfer to another university, to get a more popular specialty. It is also useful to employers for hiring suitable graduates and analysts for research in the field of education and the labor market.
