In accordance with the resolution, a distribution plan was approved across educational fields, ministries and agencies, and regions. Furthermore, national, industry, and territorial working groups have been formed.

The Republican Working Group continuously monitors graduate employment online through the career.edu.uz platform. According to meeting participants, the platform's capabilities are being increasingly utilized.

During the meeting, information on ongoing work in this area was also presented. Specifically, more than 30,000 employers are currently registered on the platform, and graduates have created over 300,000 resumes.
