NUUz Graduate Employment in the Spotlight

At the National University of Uzbekistan (NUUz) named after Mirzo Ulugbek, efforts to provide graduates with decent jobs and systematically guide them into the labor market are reaching a new milestone.

Today, the Faculty of Taekwondo and Sports Activities hosted its latest “Career Day” job fair, serving as a dynamic platform for both students and industry professionals.

The event featured approximately 30 major employers, including the National Olympic Committee of Uzbekistan, various sports federations, specialized sports schools, and other prestigious organizations presenting their current vacancies.

Key highlights of the fair included:

  • Direct Dialogue: Graduates engaged in face-to-face interviews with potential employers, gaining firsthand insight into industry requirements.

  • Innovation Showcase: Presentation of promising startup projects and scientific developments in the field of sports.

  • Workshops: Experienced specialists conducted practical seminars, providing students with essential advice on professional skill development.

The opening ceremony featured impressive martial arts demonstrations by faculty students, leaving a lasting impact on the guests. These performances effectively demonstrated not only the students’ theoretical knowledge but also their exceptional physical and mental preparation.

This initiative is a significant step toward achieving the priority tasks set by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev during his meeting with youth on February 24, 2026 — specifically, the goal of ensuring 100% graduate employment.

This year, 128 young specialists will graduate from the faculty. Notably, as a result of systematic efforts, 83 of them (64.8%) have already secured positions in the labor market.

Such “Career Day” events are scheduled to be held progressively across all faculties of the university.
