Personal Recognition and Career Start
Special recognition was given to the team captain, Islam Nabiev. The jury highlighted his exceptional creativity, leadership qualities, and out-of-the-box approach to problem-solving. For his outstanding performance, he was awarded a special incentive prize from the tournament partners.
The ultimate achievement was the official invitation of the entire team for internships at major logistics holdings. Market leaders such as FM Logistic, FESCO, NOYTECH Logistics Rus, and RZD Business Active opened their doors to our students.
Notably, students can complete their internships in a flexible format — both online and offline, allowing them to combine international experience with their studies.
This success once again confirms the high level of training at IHSLO and the global competitiveness of our students.
Congratulations to team "Tengri flow", Islam Nabiev, and Nurzada Rakhatovna on this brilliant result!
