On May 22, 2024, Gulsim Sultanovna Aitkhozhayeva, Assistant of the Department of Land Resources and Cadastre, presented a report titled "Carbon Farming — A Path to Sustainable Agriculture" at the International Agricultural Forum: Green Agenda and Agriculture. The forum was organized by the Serbian Association of Agricultural Economists in collaboration with the Erasmus+ program within the framework of the AGROKAZ project at the University of Novi Sad (Serbia).
The forum was attended by scientists, students, and agricultural producers from Serbia, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, and Kazakhstan. Participants shared the results of their research and discussed current issues faced by farmers in the fields of conservation and organic farming.
On September 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM, the national job fair "Jobs for Youth" was held at Arbat Square in Almaty. Students from the Department of Land Resources and Cadastre of the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University (KazNARU) actively participated in this important event, expanding their future professional opportunities.
The fair brought together more than 100 employers — companies, organizations, and institutions from all regions of the country. They offered students permanent job opportunities, chances to gain practical experience, as well as useful information about the latest trends and demands in the labor market.
Third- and fourth-year students from the Department of Land Resources and Cadastre of KazNARU were specially invited to receive professional guidance and discuss employment opportunities in their future specialties. Notably, 90 fourth-year students participated in the fair, gaining the opportunity to establish concrete offers and contacts related to their fields. The department’s administration appointed responsible persons for each course and ensured full student participation in the fair.
This event provided young people with a great opportunity to effectively enter the labor market, improve their professional skills, and establish direct connections with employers. Moreover, the fair contributes to enhancing the potential of young specialists in the country and helps them find permanent jobs.
On behalf of KazNARU and the Department of Land Resources and Cadastre, we express our gratitude to all participants and wish the youth professional success.
Let’s support the bright future of our youth together!
