Today, October 9, 2026, the Center for Independent Certification and Validation (CICV) under the Ministry of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic organized a special culinary training program for people with disabilities, held jointly with the Kyrgyzstan Chefs Association.

Thirty-three people with disabilities are taking part in the training, mastering the profession of cook. The initiative is aimed at developing their professional skills and creating conditions for independent employment and income generation.

The event was organized at the request of the public association "Society of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing of Kyrgyzstan," which asked for assistance in teaching people with disabilities a profession and helping them build independent lives.

Previously, in 2025, CICV provided financial support of 1.5 million soms to this association. This time, the Center has organized a two-month vocational training program for 33 people on its own premises, supporting their professional development.

The main goal of the initiative is to provide people with disabilities access to professional education, facilitate their integration into the labour market, and strengthen their economic independence.

CICV notes that such initiatives contribute to the active participation of people with disabilities in public life and the realization of their potential.
