The purpose of the study is to study the possibilities of forming an alliance of higher education (HE) and technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in Kazakhstan, as well as the problems associated with this process.

Methodology. As research methods, a generalization of world and Kazakhstani literature on the issues of integration of various forms of education and directly HE and TVET, comparative analysis, observation and critical analysis of problems were used.
