In Uzbekistan, the financial sector has so far had only a limited number of professionals with practical training, and dual education programs are largely absent. The project addresses this by introducing dual vocational training and academic programs for banks and microfinance institutions based on the German model. The goal is to strengthen a needs-based and sustainable skilled workforce system for the financial sector and to improve employment prospects for the younger generation.

Task
To achieve these objectives, the following measures in particular will be implemented:

• Development and introduction of dual vocational training and degree programs for the financial sector
• Training of teachers, university instructors, and in-company trainers
• Establishment of a practice-oriented examination and quality assurance system
• Consulting and support for educational institutions and financial institutions in the implementation of dual education models
