When I was about to graduate from the Occupational Health and Safety Program in 2022, I started my internship at Ateş Wind Power facility with the reference of my teacher Aydın Aktuğ. Later, I was hired as a staff. I am still working as a Health and Safety Technician at Ateş Wind Power Zeytindağ factory. When I started to do my professional job as an IUE graduate, I was fully prepared for what I was going to do, thanks to our professors who worked both academically and professionally. Because I realized that we graduated as having learned both the theoretical part and the experience and operational side of the profession.

Kassim Hamada
2014 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I have that zeal for football and, by that, two events inspired me of Turkey: One is the Galatasaray Spor Kulübü during 1999-2000 Europa League campaign and two is the FIFA World Cup 2002, Turkey finished at the 3rd place. I was an extremely mad and strong supporter of Turkey during this World Cup, many of the Comorians citizens support either France or Brazil, but for me it was different.

Utku Utkan
2003 - Business Administration Master Program Graduate
I had the privilege of attending the first graduation ceremony of Izmir University of Economics when I graduated from MBA program in 2003. When I was searching for graduate programs, I came across news about the establishment of our school and decided to attend the introduction meeting and enrolled in MBA program the first semester it started. I believe that receiving training from both estimable teachers in academia and experts from different sectors provided me a different point of view on business world and management.
