Featuring our next Open World Success story!

Please, meet Open World alumnus 2017, Uzbekistan Parliament member Rasul Kusherbayev.

"We have heard a lot about the United States. I was especially interested in the work of the U.S. Congress. While visiting the United States with the Open World program, we have got acquainted with the work schedule of congressmen, working with voters, impressed by the role and participation of Congress in the adoption laws, especially the budget. Also of particular interest were the local offices of congressmen and how they deal with voters' appeals. Getting acquainted with the activities of lobbying organizations, courts, election commissions in the United States was also very informative.
Living in a host family helped me understand the lifestyle, habits, and behavior of the American people. Although we had very positive impressions of the rule of law among the population, free worldview, and expression of thoughts, we noticed some kind of deterioration in perceptions of the family, in particular, the relationship between children and parents. This may be explained by the difference in family conception between them and us. In a nutshell, I think the trip to the U.S. was a positive contribution to broadening my knowledge and professional outlook
".

Well done Rasul! We hope you keep the Open World spirit.

Please, meet Abdulaziz Kadirov! πŸŽ‰

Abdulaziz has become a finalist of Uzbekistan Business Leaders Program 2020

Abdulaziz Kadirov is also a FLEX program alumnus of 2005, currently runs an educational center titled Intellekt Kokand where over 100 happy students study and learn. Every year his team organizes charity events for orphanages in his hometown to support English language enthusiasts and book-lovers. Students of this educational center successfully participate in Republican Olympiads and hold high-scoring language certificates.

β€œUnderstanding that in today's oversaturated market being unique is not enough to scale, so I plan to bring new Marketing and Sales Techniques already in use in the USA. American educational markets have the best experience with diverse language learners and classroom innovations (not mentioning marketing know-how). With the help of the UBL program I will be able to dominate the industry with the best marketing and technical practices”, says Abdulaziz.

Congratulations Abdulaziz! We wish you a fruitful future! 😊

Meet our next YPIP alumna 2020 Mukhayo Berdieva! πŸŽ‰

What is YPIP?

The Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP) provides summer internships, networking, and mentorship for Uzbek students to gain professional business and STEM skills in a real-world environment.

As a university graduate, Mukhayo Berdieva was committed to completing a summer internship program to help her grow professionally and personally. Mukhayo developed soft and hard skills at Family Group, a food and beverage company. In particular, she improved her communication, teamwork, time management skills. Mukhayo applied her marketing knowledge to practice and learned how to work and collaborate in a team environment. β€œThe Young Professional Internships Program helped me expand my networking, a path for a bright future career,” she says.

Successful business leaders who participated in U.S. exchange programs served as mentors to the interns. β€œThe best opportunity I have ever got was being mentored by professionals,” notes Mukhayo. β€œThey helped us to get motivated, and their success stories made me stronger, to improve my self-confidence, and to never stop trying. Mentors always helped and supported participants, which impacted on our personal skills too.”

Working in a real business environment, Mukhayo quickly managed the tasks critical at the beginning of her career. During the eight-weeks internship, participants took part in weekly webinars on various topics necessary to further a career path.

After completing the YPIP program, Mukayo landed a job offer at Ernst & Young, a consultancy firm, working in the tax and legal department. β€œYPIP provided me with the chance to try and apply gained knowledge into practice. The program itself exceeded my expectations. It was a unique opportunity to determine my further goals.”

YPIP team wishes the best of luck to Mukhayo! πŸ‘πŸ»

Meet our next YPIP alumnus 2020, Mukhammadjon Nazarov! πŸŽ‰

What is YPIP?

The Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP) provides summer internships, networking, and mentorship for Uzbek students to gain professional business and STEM skills in a real-world environment.

Mukhammadjon says, β€œFirst of all, I am very thankful to YPIP organizers and professional mentors for giving me a great opportunity to have an internship in the private sector, despite the quarantine time. The YPIP is a dream program for students, especially graduates, to implement their theoretical knowledge and learn new practical skills.”

Mukhammadjon had a chance to have an internship in two companies - Dekos and MFaktor. β€œAlthough my major at university is different from my host companies, I learned how companies have changed their business strategies during the quarantine time and how social media can help business owners grab potential clients' attention. Also, we had to work online, which pushed me to develop my communication, teamwork, leadership, and computer skills” he notes.

Mukhammadjon believes that weekly webinars conducted by professionals from different spheres helped him realize how soft skills are important in implementing hard skills in the modern business world.

β€œThroughout the internship program, I was lucky to have great people supporting me. My director, Hasan Mamasaidov, helped me plan long-term goals, and my mentor, Otabek Yuldashev, influenced me to choose my Master's degree in Business. I want to thank again all from the bottom of my heart for the help and support provided by the organizers”, adds Mukhammadjon.

Thank you too, Mukhammadjon, and good luck in your studies!πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
