This regulation updates Turkey's Framework Regulation on Applied Trainings in Higher Education by formally integrating the Turkish Qualifications Framework (TYYÇ). It defines "işletmede mesleki eğitim" (vocational training in the enterprise) as a structured program where students at TYYÇ levels 5 and 6 develop learning outcomes in real workplace environments for at least one semester. The Higher Education Council (YÖK) is given authority to determine eligible institutions, programs, durations, and procedures. Contracts between employers and universities must now align with TYYÇ quality assurance principles, covering student duties, learning outcomes, assessment, and occupational health and safety. Students participating in these programs are explicitly subject to Article 54 of the Higher Education Law 2547 and the company's internal work rules.
