Dear stakeholders,

I am very happy to reach you with the 7th issue of the Vocational Schools E-Bulletin published by Bursa Uludağ University MEYOK Coordination Office.

In this new issue, you will find various news and events from our Vocational Schools.

In addition, you will also be informed about the activities carried out by the MEYOK Coordination Office.

With the new application we have launched in this issue, you will now be able to see our former graduates who have graduated from our Vocational Schools and will be role models for our students in terms of career.

Our Vocational Schools have managed to train qualified human resources for Bursa and Turkish industry with 57 different programs and 135 students accepted in the program.

We have increased this program variety with the “Clothing Production Technology” program we opened in Orhaneli Vocational School.

We will be accepting students for this program for the first time with YKS 2024.

May our new program be blessed.

We act in line with our goals of increasing the quality of education in our Vocational Schools, training qualified graduates and strengthening our relations with our graduates.

For this reason, we attach great importance to the accreditation of programs, TÜBİTAK 2209 A projects and relations with graduates.

Within the scope of accreditation studies, we have applied for accreditation with the Accounting and Tax Applications (Orhaneli Vocational School), Food Technology (Mustafakemalpaşa Vocational School), Tourist Guidance (İznik Vocational School) and Cooking (Harmancık Vocational School) programs.

A total of 19 of our projects have been accepted within the scope of TÜBİTAK 2209-A projects.

Within the scope of strengthening relations with graduates, a Graduate Tracking System was designed with the support of Orhangazi Yeniköy Asil Çelik Vocational School Director Mr. Yahya Ulusoy and the efforts of Computer Programming program Instructor Mr. Kadir Burak Olgun and his students (Merthan Melikşah Karakaya, Yunus Emre Apak and Hazar Kır).

I would like to thank everyone who contributed.

Finally, I would like to thank our Vocational School Directors, Vocational School E-Bulletin representatives, Technical Sciences Vocational School Management, Technical Sciences Vocational School Graphic Design Program academicians, Technical Sciences Vocational School Graphic Design Program academician Evrim Sırmalı and her students Technical Sciences Vocational School “Design Community” members (Alperen Yeşilöz, Berkay Özger, Betül Çelik, Elif Özcan, Elif Yılmaz, Emircan Kasımoğlu, Furkan Yılmaz, Kemal Batın Sönmez, Mehmet Can Özgümüş, Özge Kaya, Salih Canıtez, Sümeyye Salık) who contributed to the preparation of the MEYOK E-Bulletin.
