Labor Economics and Industrial Relations

Hello, I'm Büşra Kurt. I am a 4th year student at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Department of Labor Economics and Industrial Relations. At the same time, I am the president of the Labor Economics and Industrial Relations Society. Our community was established in March 2017. As a community, our aim is to make it more possible to share information and experiences among the students of our department. We aim to prepare our students for working life by carrying out informational and academic activities in areas such as human resources, business law, industrial relations, labor economics. As a community, we gather in the community area given to us by our school on the campus and in the recreation area in good weather. Our community has a total of 151 active members. Generally, our department students want to become a member. As a group, we have carried out many activities related to our department such as human resources and sustainability, the importance of sociality in business life, career in accounting and financial consultancy, female labor in business life and so on. Our most comprehensive event we have held this year is our Cooperatives Workshop in Different Dimensions. In this event, we discussed women's labor in cooperatives, current problems of cooperatives, organizational culture and union-cooperative relations. By carrying out this activity through the zoom program, we have reached not only to the students of our university, but also to students from different cities and different universities. Our community is open to anyone who is a student at our university. There is no requirement for membership. Joining this community has allowed me to improve myself in teamwork. Also, it enabled me to increase my theoretical knowledge about my department and to prepare myself for business life. By taking part in community events, I learned a lot about the teamwork. If students who prefer Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University want to improve themselves in the field of working life, we welcome them to our community.
