Tech Orda: The program, offering funding of ₸600,000 (as of May 14, 2024, $1,359.48), supports a minimum of six months of training in Kazakh IT schools. It covers a broad spectrum of training areas, including web development, cybersecurity, Python development, full stack development, C# coding, and data science.
