Please, meet a YPIP alumna 2020, Azizakhon Ortikkhujaeva!πŸŽ‰

πŸ“ŒWhat is YPIP?

The Young Professional Internships Program provides the opportunity for interns to work within a cohort, participate in professional development events, engage with industry leaders, and enter into a valuable network of peers. The Young Professional Internships Program is designed to: expand the professional capacity and network of young Uzbeks in the areas of business and STEM; and empower participants with the tools needed to become self-reliant learners.

Aziza says, the internship was a great discovery for her, taking into account her major and background, she had never worked in digital marketing before. β€œFirstly, it gave me confidence that I can continue to move in the chosen direction because I became interested in this area relatively recently and did not understand well what the work consists of. And our mentor helped with building goals using the SMART method and then how smartly achieve them by practicing useful habits. Secondly, I talked a lot, not only with the team but also with clients, bloggers, celebrity managers, and celebrities themselves. But this is not all, I can note that with each person you need to build a certain communication scheme to achieve a common goal so that both parties are satisfied. Well, and networking, I met many interesting famous people. On my behalf, I will add that I worked offline with the team itself for a maximum of 2 weeks, in which there was also team building before the start of the internship.”

Team building allowed Aziza to join the crew much faster and get to know everyone better, to note some qualifications and character, and understand who will be able to help her in this or that matter. Aziza notes, β€œEvery Monday we had a zoom meeting at 10.00, I realized how important it is to constantly keep up with the team, also improved my skills in running the Trello platform, and it was also very interesting to watch our general manager and learn from him. He can leverage the strengths of others to achieve common goals and use interpersonal skills to coach and develop others. It inspires me a lot because It can be difficult to maintain such synergy, so I try to learn from him, and apply it in my projects, such as Digital Generation.”

Aziza realized what it means to work in a team and be in time for everything on the deadline, that one’s every action is interconnected with the actions of others. β€œAnd brainstorming is a key tool in creativity. Because you create something unique and creative.” Says Aziza.

Good luck with your future career Azizakhon! πŸ‘πŸ»

Bringing New Geological Discoveries to Surface

The discovery of several small gold deposits in eastern Kazakhstan has sparked interest in the exploration of precious metals. Dr. Joyashish Thakurta, a faculty specialist focusing on economic geology in the Department of Geological and Environmental Science at Western Michigan University, noticed the potential of resource mapping in Central Asia. β€œThere is a very little pre-existing study on the isotopic characteristics of this region,” says Dr. Thakurta.

Meanwhile, researchers at East Kazakhstan State Technical University sought international collaborations to better understand mineral deposits and evaluate the economic impact from geological research. Through a grant funded by the U.S. Embassy in Kazakhstan through the Central Asia university Partnerships (UniCEN) Program, the researchers have re-evaluated existing deposits and explored new mineral deposits through collaboration.
