General Information
The electricity and energy sector is continuously and rapidly developing due to globally changing market and competition conditions. This is because technology usage and the need for services have significantly increased to meet people’s daily life requirements. Moreover, the limited nature of energy resources in the world and the continuously rising demand have led to an increasing dependency on electrical energy. In this context, the production, transmission, distribution, and efficient use of electrical energy have become increasingly important.
Today, while technological advancements progress rapidly to meet this demand, a new sector and employment field have emerged in terms of service and manufacturing. Global-scale companies operating in this field have been established, and the diversity of products has increased rapidly. In addition, competition in the sector now requires the use of more intensive and up-to-date information day by day.
In our country, with the rise in living standards, it is anticipated that there will be significant investments in the electricity and energy sector in terms of production and service networks, which will consequently lead to an increase in employment opportunities.
The program has been developed in collaboration with national and international experts, representatives from the Council of Higher Education (YÖK), academics, stakeholders, labor market representatives, and professionals in the field. During this process, occupational analyses were conducted in the labor market, professional qualifications were identified, and based on all this data, program content and documentation were prepared.
Graduates of the program can establish and operate their own businesses as alternative energy resource technicians. They can also find employment opportunities in organizations such as TEDAŞ, Türk Telekom, GSM companies, energy production plants, and various public and private institutions requiring industrial automation.
Students who wish to pursue higher education can enroll in related faculties determined by the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) through the Vertical Transfer Examination (DGS). These faculties include Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, and Faculties of Technology, among others.
