A new competition for internships in the US\u2019s IT startups<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0kicks off September 25 after the approval from the foundation\u2019s Board of Trustees.\u00a0The contest<\/a>\u00a0was held last year for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 We received very positive feedback from\u00a0last year\u2019s winners<\/a>, one of whom returned to Kazakhstan this July, which enables us to state all the winners completed their internships and with very impressive results, I\u2019d like to add. Add to this the analysis of the program\u2019s pipeline and implementation, based on which we proposed to the Board to continue the program in 2018 as well, \u2014 says\u00a0Aiganym Malisheva<\/strong>, executive director for the Foundation.<\/p>\n

Four out of the five winners continued their work for the startups remotely. One of them even set up a branch of the startup in Kazakhstan\u2019s capital Astana. All things considered, the Board of Trustees approved the proposal of the foundation\u2019s staff. Applications are accepted\u00a0from September 25 to October 22<\/strong>\u00a0(23:59). The foundation will similarly allocate\u00a05 grants<\/strong>\u00a0to the most prospective students or working specialists in the field of information technology. The interns will be placed with US\u2019s leading startups primarily located in Silicon Valley. The winners will undergo a two-stage competition, evaluation of applications and interviews. Details of the competition and program provisions are here.<\/p>\n

\u2014 We would not be surprised if representatives of startups interested in the program join us at the interview round of the competition. This could speed up the visa process and enable the winners start their internships as early as in January 2018. For instance, it took 4 long months for the winners before they could travel to their destination after the competition wrapped up last year. This year we adjusted and are launching the competition much earlier. By November 8 we plan to announce the names of the five Kazakhstanis, who will hone their skills at the American startups, \u2013 explains the foundation\u2019s coordinator of the program\u00a0Ilzira Aldagarova<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A research by the Shakhmardan Yessenov Foundation reveals the most in demand working areas such as\u00a0front end developer, back end developer<\/a>, system level programmer,\u00a0data scientist<\/a>,\u00a0mobile developer<\/a>, and database engineer at the Silicon Valley\u2019s startups.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
