Opening of the Educational Program “Waste Management”

We are excited to announce that our collaboration with NAO “Atyrau University named after Kh. Dosmukhamedova” has gained new momentum. The joint efforts of the West Dala working group and the university’s environmental science faculty have led to the approval of the “Waste Management” educational program by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan!

For the first time, a program aimed at training specialists in the waste management industry is being introduced into the university’s curriculum this year.

“Our goal is to prepare specialists competent in waste management who can utilize innovative approaches, considering environmental, economic, and social aspects in the creation of waste management infrastructure,” explains our partner, the head of the “Ecology” department, candidate of technical sciences, Mansiya Yesenamanova.

The results of this training will enable graduates to regulate, control, and prevent harm from industrial and municipal waste management activities in the future.

As part of the partnership, West Dala experts will participate in guest lectures within this program and provide support during student internships at NAO “Atyrau University named after Kh. Dosmukhamedova.”
