Mininfocom and Coursera have agreed to launch a new project for programmers from Uzbekistan.

Leaders of the Ministry of Information Technologies and EdTech company Coursera held a meeting during the visit of an Uzbek delegation to the United States. The event was organized in Mountain View at Coursera's office.

Representatives of Uzbekistan spoke about consistent reforms in education and successes in IT. The outcome of the negotiations was the launch of the continuation of the One Million Uzbek Coders program for training highly qualified programmers.

Having a Coursera learning certificate, specialists have a higher chance of receiving job offers from IT companies in Uzbekistan or abroad. This will lead to an increase in the country's IT services export — one of the main tasks of modern Uzbekistan.

The parties agreed on cooperation in other areas of IT as well.
