For the second year in a row, the International Network AML/CFT Institute (INI), supported by ITMCFM, hosts a series of educational exhibitions for Eurasian countries to promote education and careers in the field of AML/CFT.
In February, March, April, and October 2023, INI member universities in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan welcomed experts and young people, providing a platform for communication, sharing experience and knowledge, and introducing students to universities and potential employers.
Mr. Vladimir Ovchinnikov, Director of the International Network AML/CFT Institute stated,
“For 10 years, the key goal of INI is to give today’s youth the right idea of the professional work of financial intelligence specialists, to enable them to acquire comprehensive knowledge and competencies in AML/CFT degrees, and to create a springboard for their future successful financial security career.
Through the joint efforts of INI members from Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, we have held four Education & Career in AML/CFT exhibitions this year. Young, motivated, gifted students of schools and universities, the future specialists from their countries, attended these exhibitions.
We strive to ensure that every year the number of students interested in this field grows. And this can only be achieved with the support and active work of each of the INI member universities.”
Representatives of universities prepared extensive, informative, and exciting training programs for students. The training is aimed at introducing the young people to the specifics of education and employment in the field of financial security. This included lectures by top lecturers from Russia and EAG countries, interactive workshops, open discussions with the expert community, young professionals, students, and participants of the International Financial Security Olympiad.
As for high school graduates soon to apply to universities and their parents, the exhibition offered them opportunity to ask the representatives of Russian and local universities questions about the curricula, majors, and specifics of studies, admission rules, and career opportunities in AML.
An important part of the events were the meetings of representatives of national financial intelligence units, agencies, and training centers with the faculty of INI member universities and ITMCFM, coordinating the cooperation of INI members. This year, the experts discussed the issues of professional education in the field of AML/CFT at INI universities and reviewed the experience, problems, and prospects for the development of curricula in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Also, great emphasis was placed on the collaboration between the national and Russian universities and further development of the International Network AML/CFT Institute, including the integration of the Graphus training system into the educational process at INI universities.
Education & Career in AML/CFT exhibition in Bishkek in late October was the last one this year. In 2023, more than 25* leading universities of Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan and about 1.5 thousand high school students, university applicants, college and university students took part in the exhibitions.
