The initiative, developed by the Digital Government Support Center, addresses a key challenge of accelerated digitalization: fragmentation and duplication of IT systems. The academy will train specialists to design integrated, scalable digital solutions based on unified architecture principles and reuse of existing modules.
The curriculum consists of four practical modules: business process reengineering, IT architecture design, artificial intelligence – from zero to prototype and project management for improving efficiency and achieving business goals, reported the ministry’s press service on Nov. 19.
Training for the first cohort begins in December and will be free of charge. Applications are open from Nov. 20 to Dec. 15, via govtec.kz.
