Investing in the future of students in Kazakhstan
November 27, 2008
Wood Group is investing in the education of young people by committing £120,000 over the next seven years to the sponsorship of a professorial chair, together with an engineering graduates’ award programme at the Kazakh-British Technical University (KBTU) in Almaty.
“We aim to support both undergraduate and postgraduate students in Kazakhstan through this sponsorship by enabling the university to offer additional courses, especially in the oil and gas sector; as well as internships for undergraduates.” Says Serik Abildinov, our recently appointed Business Development Manager in the region.
“Wood Group will also be offering its expertise to help develop courses that meet future industry needs,” adds Serik, “The programme is open to all Kazakh engineering graduates at KBTU and offers work placements to engage young graduates in practical engineering challenges that will help them develop the knowledge they need to fuel the growth of a modern economy.”
