Funded by the European Union, and implemented through the beneficiary partnership of the Ministry of National Education and TESK, VET4JOB continues its activities to disseminate high-quality apprenticeship training in Turkey. The training on the provision of psychosocial support services for guidance teachers from vocational training institutions within the scope of the program was held in Ankara on 14-17 December 2021. Programme Coordinator Dr. Balkır Özünlü from the Ministry of National Education, Directorate General of Vocational Education and Training, delivered the meeting’s opening speech. Özünlü emphasized the importance of on-the-spot guidance provided by guidance counselors in young people’s lives in terms of getting to know themselves, valuing themselves, developing their social skills and struggling with peer pressure. During the four-day course delivered by expert trainers, the activities prepared for apprentice students were introduced and the feed-back and contributions of the guidance teachers were obtained.
