Almaty local establishes American enterprise, aiding Kazakh students in their academic pursuits overseas
Hey there! Let's chat about chasing your dreams abroad, especially for fellow Kazakhs who've always yearned for an education outside their homeland. Fear not the language barriers, high demands, or costs - they're just hills to climb on the road to success!
Take the inspiring journey of Nariman Rakhimov, a guy from Almaty currently pursuing a Master's in the US and cooking up two educational ventures. One is assisting Kazakh students on the path to American universities, and the other is providing access to top-notch online learning from leading experts worldwide.
Like Nariman, he started out with a degree in Jurisprudence from the Eurasian Law Academy named after Kunaev, then snagged a Master's in Accounting and Auditing. In 2025, he conquered California Language Academy and jumped into the International American University's MBA program in business analytics. Now, he's ready to take on Harvard Business School after completing a certification program.
Once in the land of endless opportunities, Nariman didn't just stop with studies. He tapped into the American entrepreneurship spirit and began building a business career. Overcoming that pesky language barrier, he teamed up with the owner of IBC Group, Kurmet Aubakirov, to launch joint projects and even develop an app to present in Silicon Valley.
Through his business, he supports Kazakh applicants choosing the right US uni, prepping their docs, clearing consulate interviews, and smoothing their transition after landing in America. His team offers guidance on everything from housing prep to bank account opening - even airport pickups!
Don't underestimate your knowledge, our buddy Nariman says, as many of our compatriots are more qualified and knowledgeable than they think. He shares that even the regional colleges in the US produce top-notch professionals and offer full career opportunities. Plus, there are scholarships and grants depending on the level of the applicant's preparedness!
The application process may take from 3 to 6 months, but thanks to Nariman's team, students can prepare for entrance exams and English lessons during a preparatory course at the university itself, usually lasting from 3 to 12 months.
Aside from admission assistance, students can also count on paid internships and the chance to work up to 20 hours a week during school and 40 hours during vacations. And remember, one day you might be returning to Kazakhstan, a sought-after specialist with an American degree, fluent English, and cross-cultural experience.
In his own plans, Nariman aims for an MBA, Harvard, expanding the IBC Group franchise, and launching his own consulting company. He hopes to help Central Asia become a global powerhouse in the education sector, aiding all who dream of advancing in their chosen field.
Lastly, let's not forget about the speedy internet in our homeland! The cities with the fastest speed and what it means for you - more on that soon! 😉
Engaging in education-and-self-development is a vital path to personal-growth, as demonstrated by Nariman Rakhimov. His journey, marked by numerous degrees and entrepreneurial pursuits in the United States, now sees him offering assistance to fellow Kazakhs seeking admission to American universities and access to top-notch learning from global experts.
