Okan University students learn about working life from their first year. Thanks to the "Preparing for Business" program, they gain new skills through internships. Through the Supported Education in the Workplace (CO-OP) program, students can learn the culture of business and cooperation between Institutions.
Thus, along with their outstanding academic success, students get the opportunity to acquire the information and skills necessary for their self-efficacy even during their education, and they also test and learn by themselves the working life of one of the hundreds of companies that the university has agreements with. Under this, students acquire the skill of drawing a course for their personal career in the field in which they wish to work.
