National Technology Initiative: Sector on Campus MTH Courses

Start Your Career One Step Ahead with Sector on Campus!

Within the scope of the "University-Industry Cooperation" protocol signed between the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the Council of Higher Education, the Sector on Campus Program aims to cultivate the human resources needed by the industry. This program is implemented through companies delivering credit-bearing courses coded MTH (National Technology Initiative) at universities.

Through the Sector on Campus Program —which offers high added value, is sustainable, and is based on a win-win philosophy for all stakeholders— students have the opportunity to meet with industry experts while still at university, timely adapt to and access rapidly developing and changing knowledge in the business world, and prepare for professional life through the courses they take.

It is conducted online in a Virtual Classroom environment via the National Technology Academy Distance Education Portal under the Ministry. It can also be carried out face-to-face if conditions are suitable.

Advantages

Growing Stakeholder Network: Programs and opportunities conducted in partnership with our country's leading institutions.
Learning and Development Programs: An innovative approach that takes into account the competency requirements of the youth who will produce valuable technologies.
Experiential Learning Opportunities: Experiential learning opportunities such as internships and mentoring at Turkey's leading institutions.
Career Opportunities: The opportunity to access career openings offered by program stakeholder institutions.
