UZT contract types

General information: signing a contract with UZT

Before deciding on a contract type with UZT, it's important to grasp their nuances to align with your career goals and situation.

💵Funding Flexibility: Tripartite vs. Bilateral Agreements

When it comes to securing funding opportunities with UZT, you have two primary options: tripartite agreement and bilateral agreement. Both of these agreements offer funding for specific competencies outlined in your learning agreement. You'll have a UZT study period* to acquire these competencies. Upon completion, you'll receive a UZT proof of completion document recognizing your achievement.

UZT study period - this is a period of time mentioned in your UZT contract (3,5-7months). During this period, your responsibility is to gain competencies outlined in your learning agreement.

👩‍💻Continued Learning and Responsibilities at Turing College

After the initial learning period, you'll still have the opportunity to continue your studies at Turing College and gain additional competencies at no extra cost. However, the specific requirements for your continued learning may change based on the contract you've signed with UZT at the beginning of your learning journey. Upon completing the official UZT study period, you're expected by UZT to apply the skills you've acquired in the job market. If you choose to continue learning concurrently, the details of your learning timeline will depend on the contract you sign with UZT.

Let's explore each contract type for a clearer understanding of what they entail.

Tripartite Agreement

You must have an employer willing to sign the agreement with you. This agreement involves you, your current employer, and UZT.

Considerations:

Discuss any matters regarding fulfillment of requirements with your personal UZT consultant, who verifies compliance.

Bilateral Agreement

This agreement involves you and UZT, offering two distinct options:

Option 1: Sign a job contract

Considerations:

Important note: failure to secure employment within the stipulated timeframe may necessitate reimbursement of received funding.

Option 2: Start working independently, open Individual Activity (IV)

Considerations:

Important note: freedom to explore opportunities at your own pace!

We advise to discuss any matters regarding fulfillment of requirements with your personal UZT consultant, who verifies compliance.

What if I want to change my bilateral agreement option to another one?

If you've already signed a bilateral agreement but wish to switch to another option, it's possible to do so. You should contact your personal UZT consultant and request the change. If approved, you will sign an updated contract reflecting the new option.

What should I contact regarding my specific UZT case?
