“WE MUST WORK WITH THE UNIVERSITIES”

Mustafa Şenocak, Chairman of the Board of Directors of İDMİB - ILLEA, stated that they had problems in terms of education and there did not grow students at the level they wanted at vocational schools. Emphasizing that they attach importance to industrial and university cooperation Şenocak added: “We have to work with universities. We produce good products but we cannot market well. One of our biggest problems is that we cannot find marketing personnel in exports”.

Şenocak stating that they have difficulty in finding the intermediate personnel, said: “People don't like going to these schools. They can not provide the performance they want because they don't like it. In this regard, the Ministry of National Education and Istanbul Leather and Leather Products Exporters' Association (IDMIB - ILLEA) have a serious work. Business enterprises must be required to employ a certain number of vocational high school graduates, and vocational high school graduates need to be provided with some advantages. Students can be promoted to these schools with job guarantee and achievement scholarships”
