The rector said that, the concept of career in the post-soviet society was changing its traditional essence, as well. So, at present the concept of career refers not to the fact that a worker served in a particular company for a lifetime, but rather reflected the enhancement of the professionalism of that employee.
The rector also noted that, the UNEC was retaining the responsibility for the qualfication of its graduates. Within the framework of the “UNEC2B” platform presented to the business world the university offers “services” during three years, when hiring the graduates of the university. Also, if the weaknesses of the senior UNEC students are found during a job interview, the UNEC will take over the elimination of those weaknesses until graduation. Besides, job.unec.edu.az portal had been created and this virtual labor market is the effective comminication link between students and employers.
The UNEC rector emphasized the relevance of distance education to respond flexibility and adequately to the needs of the labor market. The most modern distance education infrastructure created at UNEC is ready to respond to any training needs of employers. So that, the employees can participae in distant training sessions provided at UNEC without leaving their place of employment and attend the classes delivered by involving the world-renowned experts. There is a serious need for employers to specify their requirements for the implementation of the above mentioned.
