Workplace-Based Vocational Training

This is a practice carried out in businesses to help Vocational School students develop their professional knowledge and skills and gain experience. In this model—also known as the 3+1 model—students spend their final semester receiving hands-on training in a company.

Our university has decided to implement this education model to increase our students’ employment rates and has put it into practice. Students complete their final semester without coming to campus, by directly participating in business life full-time and uninterrupted for 15 weeks, accomplishing their coursework through practical applications.
