YPIP Alumnus’21 Ravshan Ganiev

In summer 2021, Ravshan Ganiev was a sophomore student at Webster University in Tashkent, majoring in Management Information Systems (MIS). He wanted to gain hands-on experience and decided to apply to the Young Professional Internships Program, funded by the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent and administered by American Councils for International Education. 

Ravshan was placed at American Chamber of Commerce in Uzbekistan (AmCham Uzbekistan) to support the development of the organizations website. “During the internship, I was able to explore the biggest business network of Uzbekistan of over 100 companies and organizations that are united to drive economic prosperity in Uzbekistan through business.” Ravshan also gained valuable problem-solving and communication skills. 

After the 8-week internship, AmCham hired Ravshan as a project manager and he is now creating a new website for the organization. Moreover, Ravshan was recently selected as a finalist for Young Manager Program organized by Youth Affairs Agency where he hopes to develop new skills and knowledge. In the future, Ravshan plans to study a master’s degree in Computer Science after graduating from Webster University and pursue a career in the IT industry.
