AWARENESS RAISING AND VISIBILITY

“We would like students who go down the road that this project paves for them to safely map out their own path after their graduation and we would like potential students to be informed about the energetic and dynamic structure under the body of vocational and technical education institutions.”
In this phase of the project, it is intended to improve the public image of vocational and technical education, increase the rates of admission to vocational and technical education institutions, and promote vocational and technical education and adopt a strategy to raise awareness in this regard in an effort to make sure that all project activities are visible.
Presenting the activities as a part of this project in line with this objective, visibility and awareness activities are carried out to emphasize the importance of vocational and technical education. Students socialize and develop their skills by engaging in common social activities in a school environment. In addition, they benefit from learning and sharing opportunities on social media and digital platforms.
