In recent years, Uzbekistan has undertaken significant reforms aimed at aligning its educational services market with the demands of the labor market. This integration process is essential for ensuring that the workforce possesses the skills required by a modern, diversified economy. The study explores the current state of Uzbekistan's educational sector, the reforms implemented to modernize curricula, vocational training, and higher education, and how these efforts contribute to employment outcomes. It also analyzes the challenges hindering full integration, such as skills mismatches, outdated educational content, and limited collaboration between educational institutions and employers. Through a combination of policy analysis, statistical review, and case studies, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of initiatives such as dual education models, public-private partnerships, and labor market forecasting. The findings suggest that while progress has been made, sustained investment, policy coherence, and stakeholder coordination are crucial to achieving a fully responsive and integrated education-to-employment ecosystem in Uzbekistan.
