The President's visit to the Intil center

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on November 2 familiarized himself with the work of the Intil international language and vocational training center in the Uchtepa district of Tashkent, the press service of the head of state reported. The center was established by the Migration Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers and is intended for targeted training of citizens wishing to work abroad, tailored to specific vacancies.

What the center is like

On an area of almost 3.5 hectares, the entire process is organized in one place: from the initial inquiry and document processing to language and vocational training, examinations, and departure for work. The front office provides consultations and visa assistance; bank tellers, air ticket offices, and a call center also operate there. The complex includes an academic building with 600 seats, practical training facilities with 180 seats, an examination center with 120 seats, and a dormitory with 400 beds. Currently, 240 people are being trained under six international projects, with tuition and accommodation free of charge.

Training programs and partners

The center teaches German, English, Japanese, Korean, Czech, Polish, Italian, and Slovak; language training programs last from 6 to 10 months and are updated in line with the requirements of foreign employers. Vocational training covers 12 fields — from medicine and welding to warehouse logistics, construction, and culinary arts. Welders are trained to the international ISO 9606 standard, with equipment supplied from Germany, China, and Russia. The center offers the opportunity to take ÖSD, TELC, J-CERT, and EPS TOPIK exams. Training is conducted in cooperation with the companies Proud Partners, Onodera User Run, Deutsche Bahn, RecruitMed GmbH, PentaHospital, and the University of Perugia. The center employs 40 local staff and instructors and 6 foreign language teachers.

The President's statements

“Ten years ago, we had legal labor migration agreements with only a handful of countries. Today, thanks to the policy of openness, our youth have the opportunity to find decent work in many countries around the world. I want our youth to go abroad not as ordinary workers, but as qualified specialists,” Daryo.uz quoted the president as saying. He also stated that conditions for learning German and Japanese will be made the same as for English, and that languages and professions should be taught starting at school — so that after graduation, young people can be guaranteed to find employment. According to him, the mayor of the Japanese city of Nagoya recently sent him a letter expressing admiration for the culture and good manners of Uzbek youth. The President recommended implementing the center's experience — which combines candidate selection, training, and employment assistance — in other regions of the country.
