Pavlodar Region is the country’s largest industrial hub, concentrating oil-chemical, gas-chemical, coal-chemical, and energy sectors.

In addition, the issue of timely training specialists in the energy, oil-chemical, and coal-chemical sectors was considered in connection with the ministry's plans to implement new investment projects. It was noted that the expected growth of energy and chemical production facilities in the region in the coming years requires strengthening the role of universities in preventing a shortage of qualified personnel.
