GAO Tek Inc. offers Kyrgyzstan-based university students and graduates a unique opportunity to gain valuable professional experience through remote internships. Our internships cater to students pursuing Bachelor’s, Master’s, and MBA degrees across various disciplines. With a rich legacy of over four decades, GAO (Global Advanced Operations) Tek Inc., headquartered in New York City and Toronto, Canada, brings international industry exposure, technical training, and professional development opportunities directly to students in Kyrgyzstan. These remote positions are designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and professional readiness, ensuring that participants enhance their global competencies while remaining in their local environment.

Kyrgyzstan: A Country with Growing Educational and Technological Potential

Kyrgyzstan, nestled in the heart of Central Asia, is a landlocked country bordered by Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and China. Known for its mountainous terrain and the famous Tian Shan mountain range, Kyrgyzstan is home to pristine natural beauty, a diverse cultural heritage, and a resilient, rapidly modernizing population.


Regional Landscape
Kyrgyzstan is administratively divided into seven regions: Chüy, Talas, Naryn, Issyk-Kul, Osh, Jalal-Abad, and Batken. Bishkek, the capital and largest city, is the political, cultural, and educational hub. The southern city of Osh, often referred to as the “southern capital,” boasts a rich historical lineage, being one of the oldest cities in Central Asia.

Landmarks such as the Burana Tower (dating back to the 11th century), Issyk-Kul Lake (one of the world’s largest alpine lakes), and the Ala Archa National Park are symbolic of Kyrgyzstan’s heritage and potential for tourism and environmental research.


Economy, Industry, and Workforce
Kyrgyzstan’s economy is diversified but heavily dependent on sectors such as agriculture, mining (especially gold), hydropower, and remittances from abroad. The IT and telecommunications sector is growing, and there is a concerted push toward digital transformation across industries.

With an educated young workforce and increased internet connectivity, Kyrgyzstan is positioned to become a regional hub for remote work and digital services. However, challenges such as economic volatility, underemployment, and limited access to structured training programs persist.

Higher Education  System in Kyrgyzstan

The higher education sector in Kyrgyzstan is undergoing reform to align with international standards. The Ministry of Education and Science oversees public and private institutions, with increasing focus on STEM, business, and language education. The medium of instruction is primarily Kyrgyz and Russian, though English is gaining traction, especially in international programs.

Prominent Universities:

  • American University of Central Asia (AUCA): A leading liberal arts institution offering English-medium instruction.
  • Kyrgyz State Technical University (KSTU): Specializes in engineering and applied sciences.
  • Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University (KRSU): Offers a wide array of technical and humanities programs.
  • Osh State University: Known for its medical, engineering, and business programs.
  • International University of Kyrgyzstan (IUK): Focuses on business, law, and international relations.

Universities are increasingly advocating for internships and experiential learning. However, many students still lack access to international-level opportunities. GAO Tek Inc. addresses this gap by offering remote internships that provide exposure to real-time global projects.
