“Employers’ opinion should be the main principle of 21st century universities”

Azamat Akbarov (first vice-rector of the International University of Tourism “Silk Road”):

- By 2035, about 70% of work in the world will be automated. Taking into account that the population of Uzbekistan will reach 40-42 million in the near future, the need for personnel in the labor market will increase. In this case, HEIs should develop a competitive curriculum. The diploma that we give to our graduating students should not lose its validity for at least ten years.

Times are changing, universities are changing their concept. If you go to the US Silicon Valley (where famous technology companies are located), a certificate of monthly courses in information technology is enough, not a 4-year diploma.

  Uzbekistan’s tourism is growing rapidly. This situation creates a need for mature personnel in the field. Realizing this, starting from the next academic year, we want to open the specialties of influencer marketing and travel journalism for the first time in the republic. What for? In the West, 70 percent of people aged 18-35 make travel plans by reading bloggers’ comments on social networks. So, their influence on tourism is huge.

Muhammadsaid Fatullayev (student of Schmalkaden University of Applied Sciences in Germany):

- Specialists trained in the field of IT will be in demand in the future. In terms of Uzbekistan, information technologies are now coming to us. Therefore, after several decades, and even now, the need for programmers is high.

We also need economists, tourism managers, managers in the field of services. It is known that when tourism is developing, the demand for managers in this field also increases. The digital economy also comes down to the search for quality personnel. We need specialists who will solve issues such as inflation, pricing, financing of projects, attraction of direct investments.

• 
  The labor market needs quality programmers not only in Uzbekistan, but all over the world. As an international student, I can say that studying the fields of banking and finance, international economy, information technology, and international relations is becoming the demand of the times.
