9. Sustainability:
The sustainability of the Operation will be ensured, first of all, through Establishment and
implementation of a new public services model including employment services in the Operation:
In order to carry out İŞKUR’s services more effectively and efficiently, Job and Occupational
Consultancy services are re-organized in institutional structuring. Accordingly, İŞKUR will hire
2000 contracted job and occupational counselors in 2012 and 2000 more counselors in next
period with a total number of 4000. 502 of them will work in 43 provinces in 12 NUTS II region
and 180 of them will be employed in 3 pilot provinces, 14 NUTS-II Institutional sustainability
will be ensured by trained and more productive job and occupational counselors hired.
In order to ensure the sustainability of the model, it is planned to deliver training of trainers for
the personnel of General Directorate and the most successful counsellor of each province who
are trained within the scope of the model. After the operation is ended, 50 staff of İŞKUR who is
competent in the model will train the job and occupational counselors who work in provinces
which were not covered in the operation and the sustainability will be ensured by this way.
Training expenses of job and occupational counsellors will be covered from İŞKUR budget.
Consequently, the model developed under this operation will be implemented by İŞKUR across
the country.
CCB and LCBs, on the other hand, are expected to continue to work after the finalization of the
Operation. Existing local structures, i.e. Provincial directorates of İŞKUR and Provincial
Employment and Vocational Training Boards will be strengthened by this and other Operations
financed by HRD OP and they will be able to work together after the Operation.
Close cooperation among different stakeholders developed within the planning and
implementation of activities will continue at national and local levels in order to assure the
labour market inclusion of disadvantaged people. İŞKUR and social protection institutions will
experience working together in providing people with a set of services in a coordinated way
rather than providing various services to their target groups in a non-coordinated way. For this
reason, besides the current protocols applied, with the contribution of the operation, it is
important to cooperate and sign protocols with other institutions that this policy will ensure the
sustainability after the operation.
