Prominent suggestions included opening vocational courses for industrial workers and civil society, organizing workshops on endangered professions, expanding BELTEK courses, establishing an employment-focused center at OSTİM, organizing new workshops through school-industry collaboration, integrating universal digital learning methods into the curriculum, and organizing project days for students.
