PARTNERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: PRACTICE-BASED EDUCATION FOR FUTURE ECONOMISTS

As part of the Economics Educational Program Week, an informative visit to the Institute

of Economic Research was organized for students majoring in economics. During the visit,

arranged by Candidate of Economic Sciences and Associate Professor R.A. Erniyazov, students

gained valuable insights into contemporary areas of economic research, became familiar with the

practical aspects of analytical work, and observed how theoretical approaches are applied in real-

world practice. The opportunity to hear experts’ opinions and ask questions of interest generated

particular enthusiasm among the participants.

Such events directly demonstrate the importance of achieving Sustainable Development

Goal 8 – “Decent Work and Economic Growth”, contributing to the development of professional

competencies among future specialists. They also support Sustainable Development Goal 17 –

“Partnerships for the Goals” by strengthening cooperation between educational institutions and

research organizations. For students of Astana International University, these meetings play an

important role in helping them better understand their future profession, broaden their

perspectives, and motivate them toward further personal and professional development.
