On December 9, a round table was held at Sumgayit State University with financial support of the Public Association “Youth and Enlightenment” of the Azerbaijan Youth Foundation under the project “Professions of the Future: Youth Chooses”

The chairman of the Committee of Free Trade Unions of the University Elmar Khalilov spoke at the event. He spoke about the achievements of youth, and noted that they are based on the attention and care given by the national leader Heydar Aliyev to youth. Youth is the future of the people and the country. Strengthening the statehood and independence of any country depends on the training of highly qualified personnel, their transformation into the future strength of the country. The activities carried out in our country in the field of providing youth with work contribute to their development and adaptation to living conditions. Today, the correct upbringing of the young generation occupies one of the important places in state policy. State youth policy, the foundations of which were laid by a national leader, is successfully continued by President Ilham Aliyev. The result of this is that Azerbaijani youth is justifying itself in all areas of the country's life.

Project expert assoc. prof. Ilham Ahmedov gave information about the project. He noted that the public association “Youth and Enlightenment” implements the project through grants from the Youth Foundation of Azerbaijan. As part of the project, a number of activities are being carried out. For example, young people are provided with information about unpromising professions, relevant and emerging professions, prospects and global trends of the labor market.

At the event, participants were also told about the requirements of the 21st century for the labor market and professions. Associate professor Ilham Ahmedov said that all conditions have been created in the country for the comprehensive development of youth, their quality education, and the stimulation of their skills.
