➡️ Pavlodar College of Management was founded in 2001 on the first wave of the economic recovery of Kazakhstan. Its creation was due to the prospect of the upcoming transition of the country from a raw material economy to high technologies. The system of professional education at that time was focused on training specialists in the raw materials sector, energy, and metallurgy.
The modern labor market is in constant motion. Along with a network of public institutions designed to fill the vacancy vacuum, many educational institutions have been established that operate on a commercial basis. Due to necessity (the struggle for a place in the competitive market of educational services), they are forced to respond more sensitively and effectively to various market fluctuations.
The creation of the college was dictated by the requirements of the time, since at that time there was an acute shortage of specialists in the field of information and telecommunications technologies, and especially a shortage of educational institutions that are able to train such specialists productively and efficiently.
PKU has filled its corner of the empty niche, providing the labor market with qualified specialists in the field of information technology.
Every year we have more and more graduates. And this is not surprising, since the value for money of college education is balanced.
The experience, authority and organizational talent of the first director of the college Gatych Lidia Petrovna, her ability to choose and develop the right strategy for the development of the educational institution allowed the college to declare itself in the labor market in a short time and to establish itself among the organizations of technical and vocational education of the Pavlodar region.
➡️ In 2008, Lydia Petrovna was awarded the Certificate of Honor of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and in 2011-the Badge named after » Y. Altynsarina».
Training was conducted in two specialties: 1304000 «Computer engineering and software (by type)» and 0518000 «Accounting and Audit (by industry)».
The first graduation of the college in 2003 was 13 people, at that time there were 9 teachers in the staff. A year later, the output was already 14 people, and after 8 years, the number exceeded one hundred.
