Agreement between the governments of Uzbekistan and Switzerland, aimed at improving and further developing the system of education and training through the strengthening of cooperation between the training program and demand in the labor market, provides a new, fourth phase, according to the Center of secondary special vocational education.
The previous three phases of the project, which was implemented from 2004 to February 2015, were active at the college level in the field of automation and water-related professions.
