Kazakhstan Launches First Academy of IT Architects to Boost Digital Government

Kazakhstan has unveiled its first-ever Academy of IT Architects, a major new initiative designed to strengthen the country’s digital government infrastructure.

The academy will offer four key modules: business process reengineering, IT architecture design, artificial intelligence from basics to prototype, and project-based management focused on efficiency and business outcomes, The Caspian Post informs via Kazakh media.

Training begins in December 2025, with applications open from November 20 to December 15 on govtec.kz. Education for the first cohort will be free of charge.

“This academy is an investment in the quality of our digital solutions,” said Bakhtiyar Mukhametkaliyev, Director General of the Digital Government Support Center. “We’re shaping a new generation of specialists capable of designing citizen-centric services based on unified architecture principles.”

The launch follows the creation of the Architectural Council in August 2025, established to coordinate IT architecture across government agencies and major state-owned organizations like Samruk-Kazyna and Baiterek.

The Digital Government Support Center acts as the country’s core hub for digital architecture and AI implementation under the Digital Headquarters chaired by the Prime Minister.
