To this end, a specially organized working meeting was held between the faculty members of the Department of Logistics of the Faculty of Economics at Yagshygeldi Kakayev International Oil and Gas University and the management team of the "Khazar Logistics" Economic Society.

The main focus of the discussion was directed toward the early adaptation of students to production conditions and the enhancement of their professional skills in accordance with market demands. Concrete tasks were also defined to improve the quality of training competitive, highly qualified logistics specialists for the industrial enterprises of our country.

At the meeting with the specialists of the economic society, the university delegation noted the importance of directing the innovative and research activities of universities directly toward production needs.
