The Cabinet of Ministers adopted a resolution “on digitizing the system of internships for graduates of higher and vocational education and their employment.” According to it, by presidential instruction, the processes of internship, upskilling, and hiring are transferred into electronic form in a simplified, paperless manner.
Under the new regulation:
directing to internships and employment is carried out via a special electronic platform;
contracts for organizing a graduate’s internship are registered on the platform itself;
to monitor employment outcomes, the platform integrates with the ‘Unified National Labor System.’
The electronic venue will be developed by the Center for the Development of Digital Education Technologies of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovations.
What changes?
Students and graduates: all stages — applying for an internship place, receiving a response, and registering the contract — are performed from a single platform.
HEIs and colleges/technicums: each year, based on final state attestation results, they enter graduate data into the platform; they track graduate employment online through it.
Enterprises and organizations: by the 25th of each month they upload needed staffing information and lists of vacant positions to the system.
Additionally, educational institutions every August enter data on employed graduates via the interagency integration platform of the “E-Government.”
Expected effect
The new procedure makes internship and employment processes transparent, prompt, and paperless. The graduate (for internship), the educational institution (for monitoring), and the employer (for talent search) use the same database. This prevents duplicate entry, artificial reporting, and disruptions.
In short, for graduates the path from internship to job will now go through one window, one platform.
