Ticaret Ambassadors Project is Launched
![]()
The Young Ticaret Ambassadors Project, which was developed to train international students in Turkey on exportation, marketing, foreign trade and entrepreneurship, is launched. Istanbul Ticaret University and International Student Associations Federation (UDEF) support the project, which was created by Young MUSIAD (Independent Industrialists and Businessmen’s Association).
The first goal of the project for the students participating in the project that receive the trainings is to establish trade bridges between Turkey and the hinterland of their own countries. In addition, it is aimed to bring together successful students participating in the project and the companies that are involved in foreign trade in Turkey and need foreign trade personnel who speak a foreign language.
ISTANBUL TICARET UNIVERSITY CERTIFIED CERTIFICATE
As of the 3rd term of the project, international students who are enrolled in undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs at universities in Istanbul will be provided with “Foreign Trade Specialist Training” free of charge. It is planned to award the students who successfully complete the training with a certificate certified by Istanbul Ticaret University Continuing Education Center.
The participants, who successfully complete the training, will be requested to make presentations. The students will be go through a selection process by the jury taking into account their performance in the presentations and various other criteria, and the selected students will be entitled to have job interviews with foreign trade companies in Istanbul. It is planned that UDEF, Istanbul University and Istanbul Ticaret University will contribute to the project.
