Baku, September 16, AZERTAC
With the support of AzerGold CJSC and organized by the State Agency for Vocational Education under the Ministry of Science and Education in cooperation with Aspire EdTech, a digital course for the “Mining Operations Specialist” specialty will be launched in Azerbaijan for the first time.
Developed based on the curriculum for the “Mining Operations Specialist” qualification, the online course will be accessible to students and graduates of specialized vocational education institutions in Ganja and Dashkasan.
Designed to complement traditional teaching with digital resources, the course will consist of video lessons, interactive materials, and tests. A total of 250 video lessons and 1,500 test questions are planned to be prepared with the active involvement of AzerGold specialists. Students who successfully complete the course will receive certificates approved by the State Agency for Vocational Education.
Additionally, 15 informative video lessons covering the professions of locksmith, welder, and electrician are scheduled to be produced as part of the digital education initiative.
The primary objective is to enhance access to theoretical knowledge in these fields and contribute to the training of qualified personnel in line with labor market demands. The digital course will also help align vocational training in the mining sector more closely with modern technologies and industrial practices.
The development of education and the training of qualified personnel for the mining industry remain top priorities for AzerGold. To this end, the company has been implementing a Scholarship Program for university and vocational students since 2021.
Under the program, monthly scholarships have been awarded to 98 students so far—46 pursuing bachelor’s and master’s degrees at higher education institutions and 52 studying at vocational institutions. Among the scholarship recipients, 19 are currently employed across various structural units of AzerGold.
