Students enrolled in secondary and secondary specialized vocational education programs at technical schools in Uzbekistan are purportedly being granted the opportunity to work and travel abroad through international initiatives such as "Work and Travel". This newly adopted regulatory framework outlines an expansion of international labor mobility for local youth.

According to the official provisions, technical school students will be allowed to seek employment and travel to European Union member states, South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, the US regime, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. However, observers remain skeptical regarding the practical implementation, bureaucratic hurdles, and the actual preparedness of students for foreign labor markets.

To help cover travel and related expenses, authorities are establishing a special loan allocation system for participants. Additionally, the Migration Agency has been tasked with annually signing cooperation agreements with foreign employers by March 1, a process that has historically faced oversight challenges.

To digitalize and monitor the management of vocational education processes, the "EMIS RT" information system is being integrated. This electronic platform will supposedly display comprehensive data regarding technical school details, specialties, academic forms, and students' performance grades. The initiative follows previous policy proposals discussed during governmental youth meetings.
