The lectures give students an opportunity to get an introduction to the requirements of the labor market, learn about the latest trends, assess their potential and discover new opportunities for self-development.

Since 2019, it has been held in schools and universities in Almaty on four occasions. The program features motivational coaches, specialists and experts in a variety of fields that can be useful and interesting in helping schoolchildren to choose their future profession and successfully obtain higher education. The program provides a wide range of self-development opportunities, encompassing topics from psychology, fact-checking, and journalism to human resources, sports science, career guidance, business, volunteer work, information technology and more[28].

The Foundation administers the program through a two-yearly competition among regional universities in Kazakhstan. It provides native-speaking instructors and covers their costs. Additionally, top-performing students receive financial support to cover the IELTS exam fees at the end of each academic year.

Pilot programs
[edit]In 2018, the Foundation piloted a "Master's Studies" program[32]. Four talented Kazakh students emerged victorious from the competition and successfully completed their Master's degrees.
In 2022, the Shakhmardan Yessenov Foundation held its inaugural competition of the “Orleu”[33] a program for low-income Kazakh citizens. Its winners, four school graduates, were given the opportunity to study for one year of a bachelor's degree program at a university of their choice, at the Foundation's expense. In 2023, the Foundation also held an additional competition for this pilot program, which resulted in five young people, including two of the winners from the program's inaugural year, securing the opportunity to pursue their Master's degrees at Kazakh universities.
In 2023, the Foundation conducted a grant program for additional training for the first time, focusing on the development of "flexible"[34] ("soft", - non-professional) and "hard"[35] (professional) skills – “Yessenov Launch Pad”[36].
Voluntary and sponsorship activities
[edit]The volunteer coordination center “Komanda SOS”[37] mobilizes volunteers to address critical social issues in Kazakhstan, fostering a culture of volunteerism that strengthens civil society. The most significant annual projects of “Komanda SOS” are the children’s aid program “Wish Tree” and the sports camp “Special Olympics Kazakhstan”[38] for children with special needs (70 volunteers and 235 children became camp participants).
From July 2015 to March 2020, the Foundation was a sponsor of the Kazakhstan Chess Federation[39] and all its sporting events, including the Central Asian Cup (2015), Eurasian Blitz Cup (2016), Open International Tournament Cup of South Korea (2016-2019), Men's and Women's World Team Championship (2019), Asian Senior Championship (2019), V.
