What do we do?

In the field of renewable energy, there are National Occupational Standards for wind, photovoltaic and biogas energy systems, consisting of three levels (level 3, level 4 and level 5). Within the scope of the Project, a new curriculum will be developed in line with the 5th level standards, and renewable energy systems trainings for wind, photovoltaic and biogas energies will be given in Balıkesir University and Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University.

The trainees will continue their trainings with career-oriented trainings (such as motivation, time management, communication, entrepreneurship, administration and organization). The duration of the trainings will be one month, and the trainees will receive these trainings at Balıkesir University and Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Continuing Education Centers.

Permit to Work Under High Voltage Electric Power Plants (EKAT) is specified among other regulations related to the profession under National Professional Standards Level 5 which is created for wind, photovoltaic and biogas energies’ systems. In line with this, technical personnel to work under high voltage in plants with high electrical currents will also be trained within the scope of RE You Project. The purpose of these trainings is to equip the personnel with key skills for working in this sector, to give those personnel who were successful in trainings the Permit to Work Under High Voltage in Electric Power Plants, to ensure the health and safety of the personnel, to prevent work accidents and minimize the risks of it.

A database will be created to offer job and internship opportunities for trainees within the scope of the project. Internship activities will be carried out in line with this database and trainees’ expectations. New graduates will get to do 2 months-long internships. Trainees will get the opportunity to gain experience thanks to the internship programme and companies will be supported by means of qualified interns with regards to this.

In RE-You Technical Assistance Project Office in Balıkesir and Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Continuing Education Centers, trainees will be provided with support on vocational guidance and counseling, preparing a CV, creating individual career plans and job search tools.

Career days will be organized to bring employers and trainees together. During the process, the labor demand of the companies, internship opportunities and the expectations of the trainees will be considered. The planned 2 career days will be held with a total of 400 participants from the project and the industry.

RE-You Project will build bridges between students and private companies. In cooperation with İŞKUR and KOSGEB, consultancy will be provided to target groups on issues such as public employment services opportunities, labor legislation, occupational health and safety, basic social rights, entrepreneurship, employment opportunities in the active labor market.
