The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Office in Turkmenistan and Winrock International have announced the opening of applications for a new training programme focused on developing digital skills, learning about artificial intelligence technologies and strengthening entrepreneurial capabilities.
The initiative is being implemented under the Advancing Sustainable Supply Chains for Export and Trade (ASSET) project, which is supported financially by the US Department of State. Local non-governmental organisations and private-sector representatives are also contributing to the programme’s implementation.
The training programme aims to expand public access to modern knowledge and technologies, teach participants how to use digital tools and help them turn innovative ideas into practical business projects.
Special attention will be given to applicants from socially vulnerable groups. These include single parents raising children, people with disabilities, unemployed citizens, as well as individuals seeking to expand their professional opportunities and establish small businesses. The programme is open to residents of all five regions of Turkmenistan and the city of Ashgabat.
Running from December 2026 to March 2027, the programme will consist of three interconnected stages. Its official launch ceremony will take place on 23 November 2026. Participants will then attend practical training sessions covering artificial intelligence, modern technologies and the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. Classes will be held both in person and online, reaching all five regions of the country.
The programme will conclude in March 2027 with an innovation and entrepreneurship hackathon in Ashgabat. During the event, participants will have the opportunity to present their projects to experts and mentors.
Those wishing to participate can submit their applications by 23:59 Turkmenistan time on 17 November 2026. Registration is available through the following electronic link: Submit an application .
