Abstract

Chemistry holds a vital role in the advancement of science and modern society. It is more than
the study of substances-it is a gateway to expanding human consciousness. In the 21st century,
chemistry connects with various professions, from medicine to environmental science. The elective
course «In the World of Chemistry Professions» is an educational initiative aimed at guiding
students toward informed career choices. This course not only sparks interest in chemistry but also
demonstrates its practical importance. Through labs, projects, and case studies, students engage
with both theory and practice. They develop essential skills such as analysis, intuition, and critical
thinking. The course bridges education with industry applications. Students explore roles like
chemical analyst, pharmaceutical chemist, and ecological chemist. It enables them to choose their
professional future with clarity and confidence. This model aligns with Kazakhstan’s educational
strategies and promotes interest in STEM. Teachers become scientific mentors through this
curriculum. Chemistry’s philosophical and applied aspects enrich students’ perspectives.
Ultimately, the course offers a solid first step into the scientific world and future success.
