On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, the International University of Sarajevo (IUS) had the distinct honor of hosting Dr. Salim Atay, President of the Human Resource Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkiye, along with his esteemed team. The delegation was warmly welcomed by the IUS Rector, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Yıldırım, for a comprehensive meeting aimed at forging new paths of collaboration and support for IUS students.
The focus of the discussions centered on enhancing employment and internship opportunities for IUS students through integration with the Talent Gate online system (Yetenekkapısı). Talent Gate is a dynamic digital interaction platform designed to connect students, young professionals, and employers. It serves as a central hub for university career centers to access and disseminate information on job and internship listings, career counseling, career fairs, events, and much more with unparalleled ease.
Dr. Atay emphasized the platform's expansive network, which encompasses over 10,000 employers, 2,600 universities, and nearly 2 million students and alumni from more than 130 countries worldwide. The inclusion of IUS in this robust digital ecosystem promises to significantly enhance the career prospects of its students, offering them a global stage to showcase their talents and secure valuable professional opportunities.
Prof. Dr. Yıldırım expressed his enthusiasm about the potential benefits of this collaboration, highlighting how it aligns with IUS's commitment to providing its students with the best resources and support for their career development. "Joining Talent Gate will open numerous doors for our students, giving them access to a wide array of opportunities and enabling them to compete on a global level," he stated.
The meeting concluded with a mutual agreement to initiate the integration process, setting the stage for IUS to become an active participant in the Talent Gate network. This strategic move underscores IUS's dedication to fostering a supportive and resource-rich environment for its students, ensuring they are well-equipped to navigate the competitive job market.
