The 2nd International meeting was held in Spain within the scope of EMLT+ AI Strategic Partnership in the Youth Field Erasmus+ Project
The 2nd International meeting of the project, which was supported by the European Union National Agency of Turkey and carried out by Anadolu University Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Nilgün Çağlarırmak Uslu and international stakeholders, in which a digital product was developed with artificial intelligence algorithms for educated young people to be employed in their fields and for young people to discover their potential, was held in Spain. At the meeting held at Extremadura University, under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Ramón Sanguino Galván, Prof. Dr. Ascensión Barroso Martínez and Prof. Dr. María Isabel Sánchez Hernández, Prof. Dr. Ramón Sanguino Galván, Prof. Dr. Ascensión Barroso Martínez and Prof. Dr. María Isabel Sánchez Hernández, an innovative starting point in education was created with the EMTL + AI Project. Funded by the European Union and supported by the Turkish National Agency of the European Union, the main objective of the project was to close the gap between the knowledge gained through education and the skills required by the labour market between Spain, Portugal and Turkey. In addition, the developed interface offers young people the chance to meet with mentors who are competent in their fields, to benefit free of charge from training content prepared according to new century skills and competencies, and also to analyse their CVs through artificial intelligence. The theories involving artificial intelligence and big language models are behind the system, which allows the user to discover their personal skills and abilities on the developed interface.
Prof. Dr. Çağlarırmak Uslu: ‘It is very exciting for us to implement a project carried out under the leadership and coordination of Anadolu University’
Giving information about the project and its process, Prof. Dr Nilgün Çağlarırmak Uslu said: ‘Our project is a strategic partnership project in which innovations in the field of youth are shared with our project partners funded by the European Union National Agency of Turkey. Other partners of the project include Portugal Technopark, University to Carrier U2C association dealing with the career processes of young people, Turkey Coaching and Mentoring Association (EMCC), Eskişehir Chamber of Industry. We will finalise this project, which we started in 2022, in February 2025. Our project was created with the aim of how we can make our young people more qualified in career-job matching by using artificial intelligence algorithms. Currently, every technical detail in your CV is matched with the mentor network included in the system and a profile is created. In this context, we expect everyone to benefit from the free and currently open system. It is very pleasing for us to realize a project carried out under the leadership and coordination of Anadolu University. In this context, nearly a thousand students not only from Anadolu University but also from other universities in Turkey and Europe have benefited from this system so far.’
First phase of EMTL+AI project completed!
Extremadura University, in collaboration with Anadolu University, is leading the Erasmus+ EMTL+AI project, which aims to increase employment and optimise candidate selection, taking into account the specific requirements demanded by the private sector. In this context, Homero Cardoso, on behalf of Tagus Valley from Portugal as a technology partner, emphasised the importance of structuring the company profile. As one of the local partners of the project, Eskişehir Chamber of Industry plays a leading role in the process of structuring the company network of the project.
During the project, young people will have the opportunity to improve their knowledge with an innovative artificial intelligence application. Thus, young people will not only stimulate job creation in the region, but also take an important step in the integration of advanced technologies into the field of education. At this stage, the participants were introduced to the concepts of artificial intelligence and raised awareness on the correct use of this technology in employment and labour market. They were also given access to the EMLT+AI tool, which offers online training, mentoring and the possibility to interact with a chatbot.
