Kazakhstan strengthens workforce skills through digital learning

Kazakhstan’s employers’ organisation is expanding workplace training through greater use of digital learning, certified trainers and occupational safety programmes as part of efforts to strengthen workforce skills.

The initiative follows the completion of an advanced digital learning programme that enables certified trainers to develop online courses, webinars and professional training tailored to employers’ needs. Occupational safety and health will remain at the core of the programme as additional training areas are introduced.

A digital learning platform launched earlier this year supports course delivery, while cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO) aims to strengthen training capacity and expand professional certification.

The initiative forms part of wider efforts to help employers improve workforce skills, strengthen occupational safety and expand access to professional training through digital learning technologies.

Why does it matter?

Digital learning is becoming an increasingly important tool for workforce development, allowing employers to expand access to professional training while reducing the time and cost associated with traditional classroom programmes. For countries seeking to modernise labour markets, online training can help address skills gaps more efficiently.

The initiative also highlights the growing integration of digital technologies into occupational safety and health programmes. By combining digital learning with internationally recognised certification and cooperation with the ILO, Kazakhstan is seeking to strengthen both workforce resilience and workplace standards.
