In 2021, Musa Mamatkulov graduated from the University of World Economy and Diplomacy, majoring in International Economics and Management. Immediately after finishing his studies, he was selected among 36 Uzbek students to participate in the Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP). As an intern at French construction and inspection company Bureau Veritas, Musa contributed to the management and documentation of tenders.
Musa counts his 8-week internship as a critical step in his career. "I realized the importance of work ethic and I did my best to develop it so that I could work productively and make a valuable contribution to my workplace," reflects Musa. "Sessions organized by American Councils were full of valuable advice, eye-opening presentations from experts, and an amicable atmosphere with great networking experience."
As a result of his internship, Musa gained a broader understanding of corporate life and collaboration with open-minded colleagues and people coming from different backgrounds. Soon after his internship, he landed a job in the public relations and communication policy department at the Central Bank of Uzbekistan to contribute to effective economic policy in his country. In the future, Musa plans to earn a master's degree in economics in the United States.

Attracting Ecotourists to Uzbekistan for Sustainable Growth
As Uzbekistan emerges as an unexplored tourism destination, sites must be protected for future generations. Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Purdue University and Urgench State University developed a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), with the goal of spurring ecotourism in Uzbekistan.
In September 2020, a team from Purdue University and Urgench State University met weekly online to discuss their goals for the course and shared interests. This collaboration was done in conjunction with Purdue’s Sustainable Tourism and Travel Lab, which seeks to make international tourism more environmentally friendly. Researchers determined which modules would be included in the MOOC and discussed how ecotourism could best be implemented in Uzbekistan. Purdue University faculty assisted Urgench State University faculty with crafting videos, assessments, and texts for the course.
Professors from both universities co-authored and published a paper in a peer-reviewed journal on “Employing Ecotourism Opportunities for Sustainability in the Aral Sea Region: Prospects and Challenges.”

Akbar Abdurakhmonov is a 2021 graduate from Inha University in Tashkent majoring in logistics. In the summer of 2021, he was selected among 36 finalists for the Young Professional Internship Program (YPIP). During the internship program, he gained valuable experience as a project manager and business analyst at the host company NovaLab Tech.
Akbar believes that the 8-week internship program served as a turning point in his life. “Although I had been working for one year at that time and my major was logistics,” he reflects, “I decided to participate in the 8-week program to do my internship at a software development company to get out of my comfort zone and to embrace new challenges. At first, I was afraid if I had made the right decision. Still, once I started participating in the program, I realized that weekly sessions organized by experienced mentors were very contributive to my personal and career life. The program helped me to get practical experience and gave me professional networking opportunities which I lacked until that point of my life."
Akbar enjoyed a great atmosphere with supportive colleagues and mentors. Within the internship period, NovaLab Tech extended a job offer as a Business Analyst, and he decided to continue working there after the internship. Akbar eventually plans to pursue a master's degree in analytics soon, but he wants to first gain valuable experience in the business side of the IT industry.
