We are trying to create internship opportunities for the maximum number of students studying at maritime vocational high schools or universities related to maritime. We aim for the students who do internships within our company to take firm steps towards their future professions and to start their business life one step ahead with the plus of having done an internship at İZDENİZ upon graduation.”
