Istanbul Human Resources Forum Held...

The 2nd Istanbul Human Resources Forum, organized this year by the Presidential Human Resources Office under the theme "Society 5.0," was held at the Istanbul Congress Center.

The opening of the forum was attended by Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Aşkın Bak, Presidential Human Resources Office Head Salim Atay, TÜROB Secretary General İsmail Taşdemir, public and private sector representatives, and human resources executives.

Speaking at the opening of the forum, Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz said: "We have launched the Career Gate service to bring together our young people's career aspirations with employment demand. On the other hand, the career centers now operating at all universities serve as a bridge between our young people and the real sector. The National Internship Program, through which young people can gain career awareness as well as skills and competencies before graduating, has been implemented to cover both the public and private sectors. Through this program, which the OECD has held up as a model practice for member countries for four consecutive years since 2020, internship opportunities were provided this year to more than 180,000 university students, and to more than 340,000 in total. Thus, we have gained the ability to match the supply of intern human resources with demand without the need for any intermediary. In addition, by moving all public recruitment processes to the Career Gate digital platform, we have given it a merit-based, transparent, and accountable structure."
