Goal 17 META University implements SDG 17 through an institutionally fixed system of strategic partnerships with government agencies, industrial companies and academic organizations, integrated into the Smart Sustainable University model. The key partners are akimats and structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, within the framework of which educational programs, practice-oriented projects, internships and initiatives for the development of human capital are implemented. Through the Industry Council, the university ensures the co-development of educational programs with employers, which makes it possible to maintain a high level of relevance of graduates' competencies. The share of educational programs developed with the participation of the industry exceeds 60%, and the share of students undergoing internships on the basis of partner organizations is at least 75%.

In addition, META University forms a stable network of partnerships, including at least 16 partner universities and participation in international programs (Erasmus+), which ensures academic mobility and knowledge transfer. Within the framework of the GREEN DEAL HUB and other initiatives, more than 20 joint projects are implemented annually, including ESG projects, hackathons and applied research. The total coverage of partner programs exceeds 1,000 participants per year, and the involvement of students in joint projects reaches at least 60%. The share of external funding and joint initiatives with partners demonstrates steady growth, ensuring a scalable socio-economic effect and compliance with the requirements of the QS Sustainability Ranking.
