“Within the scope of the framework protocol signed with the Ministry of National Education, it is aimed that the students studying in the vocational and technical Anatolian high schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the fields of accommodation and travel services, food, beverage services and entertainment services will receive education in hotels and businesses. We aim for these students to graduate by learning at least three foreign languages, to receive scholarships while studying, to be employed after graduation, and to contribute to increasing the qualifications and professional development of our teachers.
The work, which started with 2018 facilities and schools in 5, reached 2021 facilities and 38 schools in 54. As of June 2023, the first graduates, whose number will reach 700 on average, will be brought to the sector, and the protocol will bear its first fruits and the qualified manpower needed in the ongoing process will be brought to the tourism sector.
