The head of state got acquainted with the work of the vocational guidance center opened in the “Samarkand darvoza” mahalla. Here, young people and women are trained in modern professions in the field of trade, marketing, finance and information technology. In the future, graduates will be assisted in finding high-paying jobs.
There was a presentation of measures to reduce poverty and ensure employment of the population. At a meeting on these issues, held on May 10, it was proposed to stimulate entrepreneurs to create new jobs.
For example, there are 51 mahallas in the Shaykhantakhur district. There are more than 100 entrepreneurs with high potential. On the basis of an agreement, the unemployed in the mahalla are assigned to them. The state will create conditions, and entrepreneurs will train the population in professions and provide them with jobs.
“It is beneficial for both parties. Now many entrepreneurs want to expand their activities, everyone needs qualified workers. Our goal is to let enterprises turn into practical monocenters and train specialists for the industry. The state will provide the necessary infrastructure for this, financial and tax incentives. Due to the increase in jobs, the growth of the purchasing power of the population, these investments will eventually return to the economy. Most importantly, this practice will not only allow young people to acquire a profession, but will also become a school of life,” Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
