What Happened
In Kazakhstan, interim results of the project “My Summer Holidays” have been summarized: during its implementation, more than 12.6 thousand schoolchildren and students found work. The project is in its second year and creates additional opportunities for legal and safe temporary employment for students during the summer holidays.
The main objective of the initiative is to help young people gain their first work experience in clear and protected conditions. This is specifically about legal employment: with formal registration, transparent conditions, and without the risks that often accompany informal jobs.
How It Works
One of the key tools of the project has become the Electronic Labor Exchange Enbek.kz. The platform features a special section “My Summer Holidays”, specifically aimed at schoolchildren and students.
Through this section, students can:
- get acquainted with available vacancies for temporary employment;
- post their own resumes;
- independently select suitable job options for the summer period.
This format allows for remote job searching, comparing offers, and responding to them without intermediaries. This makes the job search process more transparent and convenient for both the students themselves and the employers who need seasonal staff.
Who It Concerns
The project is primarily aimed at schoolchildren and students who want to spend their holidays productively and earn money. For many, this is their first experience of official employment, an introduction to labor relations, and an understanding of how the labor market operates.
The initiative is also of interest to parents, as it concerns the safe and legal employment of children, rather than random side jobs. The project holds particular significance for employers: seasonal hiring of youth helps meet temporary staffing needs during the summer period.
What to Do to Participate
If you are a schoolchild or student and want to find temporary work during the holidays, the steps are simple:
1. Go to Electronic Labor Exchange Enbek.kz and find the section “My Summer Holidays”.
2. Register and post your resume, indicating your skills, interests, and convenient schedule.
3. Review available vacancies and respond to suitable options.
4. Before starting work, clarify the terms of employment and registration process with the employer.
Parents should help their child navigate the platform and discuss the chosen vacancies to ensure the work is comfortable and suitable for their age and capabilities.
Why It Matters
The project addresses several tasks at once. Firstly, it brings youth employment into the legal field, reducing the risks of working “under the table.” Secondly, it helps teenagers and students acquire real skills, discipline, and the first entry in their future resumes. Thirdly, it supports employers who need temporary staff during the season.
The fact that more than 12.6 thousand students have found work through the project demonstrates the demand for this format and the role of digital services in youth employment.
