Z. M. Akhmedova and G. B. Bekieva, internship supervisors of the Economics Subject-Cycle Commission at the College of Economics and Law, organized workplace training for third-year students undertaking their internship at the Manas City State Tax Service.

The main objective of the training was to combine students’ theoretical knowledge with practical skills, deepen their understanding of how the tax system operates, and develop the professional competencies required for their future careers.

During the training, students became familiar with the main areas of the tax service’s activities and received information on the following relevant topics:

the structure of the tax system of the Kyrgyz Republic and the main functions of tax authorities;

taxpayer registration procedures and the fulfilment of tax obligations;

procedures for preparing and submitting tax returns;

the use of electronic tax services and digital platforms;

taxpayers’ rights and responsibilities and the importance of complying with tax legislation;

improving the effectiveness of tax administration and promoting tax awareness.

Workplace training enabled students to understand the operational processes of the tax service in a real professional environment, connect their theoretical knowledge with practical situations, and develop skills in addressing professional tasks.

Particular attention was paid to digitalisation in the tax sector, the opportunities offered by electronic services, and the importance of accuracy, responsibility, and professional ethics when working with taxpayers.

The internship supervisors, Z. M. Akhmedova and G. B. Bekieva, emphasised that combining theoretical knowledge with practical workplace experience plays a vital role in strengthening students’ professional training.

Workplace training is an important step from knowledge acquisition to professional competence. Such initiatives help prepare students to meet labour market requirements, develop practical competencies, and enter their future careers with greater confidence.
