Lifelong Education Practice and Research Center

Hello dear friends, I am Professor Barış Boru. I am the director of the SAYEM Unit of our university. SAYEM, with its short name: is Sakarya Lifelong Education Center. It is the Lifelong Education, Application and Research Center. SAYEM is the unit that conducts educational activities that are excluded from the formal education activities of our university. It aims to increase the qualifications, knowledge and skills of the people, through formal and distant education methods. It also carries out personnel certification activities according to the international standard 17024 (TS EN ISO IEC 17024 standard), accredited by the Turkish Accreditation Agency and the Vocational Qualifications Authority. There are two important points that concern you in SAYEM. Throughout your education life, you will receive various trainings and gain competencies for your department. But today, we all know that people should have more than one competence. The unit where we can get these side competencies is our Lifelong Education Center. Our Lifelong Education Center serves every citizen who works in the sector, seek jobs and wants to improve themselves. Here, our educational activities continue with distant and formal education methods. The documents and certificates you will obtain as a result of these training activities will be produced, inquirable and verifiable via E-Government. Our Lifelong Education Center is the first state university affiliated training center that can generate and verify a certificate via E-Government. We are proud to be the first in this service. The fact that the documents you will receive from us can be inquired and verified via E-Government will be an important convenience when you start your professional life. Another important point is that the professional documents that will be obtained as a result of the professional competence exams we have done, which are accredited to the Vocational Qualifications Authority, are internationally recognized diploma-quality documents. Currently, exam and document fees in many professions are covered by the unemployment fund as government incentives. In this way, you will be able to get a professional certificate free of charge from SAYEM. In addition to your diploma, you will get your professional certificate from SAYEM and leave our university with a double diploma and when you start your business life in the sector, you will start one step ahead of other individuals. I hope that after you come to our university, you will participate in the training and exam activities we are carrying out by our Lifelong Education Center. By increasing your skills and certifying them after these training and exam activities, you will be one step ahead of other individuals when you are looking for a job or are employed. I wish success in their exams to all of our friends and all our students who are considering choosing our university. I hope we will have the opportunity to be together with you at our university. We will be happy to see you as a beneficiary in the activities organized at SAYEM. I wish success to all my friends and thank you.
