Alisher Babajonov, a student of Urgench State University, majoring in mathematics, always dreamed of studying abroad as an exchange student. His Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP) experience has allowed him to bring his dream to life. As Alisher says: “I have never had experience preparing a CV, writing a motivation letter, making a study plan, or getting recommendation letters.” However, after working in the professional environment of host company iTicket working in tickets online service, Alisher has greatly developed his knowledge and skills in project management and marketing. Once he saw an opportunity to study abroad through the National Scholarship Program of the Slovak Republic, he seized the moment and successfully went through a rigorous completion allowing him to study in one of the leading universities – Technical University of Kosice, and YPIP experience has certainly played a big part in his success. Despite all the difficulties, Alisher has realized one of his biggest dreams, and now he is in Uzbekistan after his journey made him stronger, smarter, and wiser.
