In 2022, nearly 19% of employed Kazakhstani citizens plan to undergo retraining to work in the information technology sector, according to a survey conducted by HeadHunter Kazakhstan among 1,145 users of the hh.kz website.

Meanwhile, young specialists aged 25–35 believe they can easily start working in the IT sector but often hesitate to undergo retraining.

5% of respondents have already tried their hand at retraining for the IT industry. 51% plan to do so in the near future. The remaining 44% are in no hurry to do this. This is due to concerns that they may not cope with the work of an IT specialist or that the training will take too much time, which they do not have.
