Abstract

The creative industry is one of the most dynamic segments of the global economy today and has a significant transformative impact on socio-economic growth. According to experts and market participants, there are few examples of commercially successful projects in the creative industry of Kazakhstan, but the potential of the industry is underestimated for various reasons. Although the creative sector of the economy is still relatively new and underdeveloped in Kazakhstan, it has a good export potential and can be leveraged to foster a favorable perception of the nation abroad. This article explores the role of education in the development of creative industries. The purpose of the study is a qualitative analysis of the level of the educational system in Kazakhstan involved in the training of personnel for the creative industry. It also offers comprehensive recommendations for its improvement considering local specifics. The work makes a significant contribution to the literature on the creative industries by expanding the concept and complementing the practice of developing countries. The research on the developing creative industries markets in the former Soviet Union’s nations offers novel findings and significant new information.
