In the modern world, where information and technology are rapidly developing, traditional teaching methods are becoming insufficient to prepare students for professional activities. In this context, non-formal education is of particular importance in the higher education system of Kazakhstan. It is an additional source of knowledge and skills that students receive outside the classroom, independently or in the process of interacting with the professional environment.

One of the key advantages of informal learning is flexibility. Students can learn new skills and knowledge through online courses, workshops, conferences, internships and other practical forms of learning. This helps them adapt to a rapidly changing job market and develop important competencies such as critical thinking, communication and leadership.

In addition, informal learning contributes to the personal development of students, strengthening their self-confidence and motivation for self-improvement. It is important to note that in Kazakhstan, many universities, including the Innovative Eurasian University, actively integrate elements of informal learning into the educational process, which helps students to be more prepared for the challenges of real professional life.

Thus, non-formal education complements traditional methods of higher education, expanding students' opportunities for comprehensive development and successful careers in the future.
