Inside a vocational college workshop in Kazakhstan, the Urazaliyev family’s welding story runs across three generations: a retired welding instructor (Tubynyaz), his son Almaz who teaches welding, and a student in the same path (Daulet). The article shows how a trade can become a family craft, built on daily practice with real metal and real tools.

Training is described as strongly practical: the school separates theory teachers and instructors, and the instructors work hands-on with students. The article also says the education is free, and students receive meals plus a scholarship, which makes the trade route more reachable for young people.

The welders in the story argue welding stays essential—both technical and creative—and they don’t see automation removing the need for human craftsmanship. The article connects this to a wider push in Kazakhstan: 2025 was declared the “Year of Working Professions,” and the country expects large labour demand over the next six years, with many roles needing vocational or technical education; welders are mentioned among the sought-after specialists.
