Koçtaş Supports Skilled Workforce Development in Construction Sector Through Partnership with OTÜSEM

Koçtaş has signed a comprehensive educational partnership with OSTIM Technical University Continuous Education Center (OTÜSEM), adding another project that creates value for craftspeople and individuals who want to improve their homes. The educational programs implemented under this partnership aim to contribute to the training of qualified workforce needed in the construction and building sector.

An important cooperation protocol has been signed between Koçtaş, Turkey's leading home improvement retailer, and OSTIM Technical University Continuous Education Center (OTÜSEM). Within this scope, educational programs will be implemented under Koçtaş Atölye, Koçtaş's training and development center. These programs, designed with practice-based and field-relevant content, aim to develop the professional knowledge and skills of craftspeople and individuals, bring equipped human resources to the sector, and contribute to the dissemination of qualified applications in the home improvement field.

Training Spanning Home Repairs to Landscaping Applications
The "Master in My Home – Home Repair Training Program" offered under this partnership aims to train individuals with basic technical knowledge in construction and maintenance, capable of safe and conscious application. Thanks to the program, participants gain application skills in line with sector standards in small-scale repair, assembly and maintenance work, enabling them to use this knowledge and skills both in their own living spaces and in their professional lives. Another program to be implemented through the Koçtaş and OTÜSEM partnership, "Garden Arrangement and Landscaping Training," focuses on basic practical skills in open space arrangement, environmental design and landscaping applications. The training offers practical and applicable content for individuals who want to develop and specialize in this field.

Wide-Reaching and Sustainable Training Approach
The training programs to be carried out at Koçtaş Atölye address a broad audience ranging from individuals wanting to enter the sector to employees aiming to develop professional skills, from field personnel to participants with entrepreneurship goals. Programs, structured with hands-on training alongside theoretical knowledge, place occupational health and safety awareness and professional responsibility culture at the center. Through this partnership with OTÜSEM, Koçtaş aims to create value for craftspeople and individuals who want to improve their homes, strengthen the home improvement ecosystem, and provide sustainable solutions to the construction sector's qualified workforce needs.
