In Karaganda, a VRO-center is opening to support freelancers

In Karaganda, a BPO center is launching — a unique space for freelancers that will combine educational events and a range of services for professional development. The center will become a growth point for Karaganda freelancers aiming to enter the international market and an important step in developing the local economy.

BPO stands for Business Process Outsourcing, which involves outsourcing business processes. Companies worldwide use this model to delegate tasks to professionals and focus on scaling.

The initiator behind the new BPO center in the mining capital is the Karaganda IT hub "Terricon Valley." The organizers are focusing on freelancers who can work for foreign companies while remaining in the region and spending their income locally. This increases the turnover of funds in the local economy and creates new jobs.

Within the framework of the BPO center, regular lectures, courses, and workshops led by experienced specialists will be organized, along with useful services for community members' development, as well as opportunities for networking and exchanging experiences with colleagues.

In March, events for the BPO community are planned. On March 3, a course on working with AI will begin, allowing participants to explore the capabilities of artificial intelligence for work and create their own AI project. On March 20, a lecture and networking event for designers who want to enter freelancing will take place.
