Karadeniz Technical University’s Continuing Education Application and Research Center (KTU-SEM) operates as a key unit that opens the university’s educational opportunities to all segments of society, supporting lifelong learning. Through the services it offers, KTU-SEM helps individuals improve their knowledge, skills, and competencies while providing inclusive learning environments that address people of all ages and professions.

Through KTU-SEM:

  • Certified professional development programs, technical trainings, and personal development workshops are organized for both internal and external participants.
  • Customized training solutions are developed in cooperation with public institutions, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations.
  • Online and face-to-face trainings are provided in areas that meet the needs of the modern era, such as digital literacy, entrepreneurship, disaster awareness, artificial intelligence, and foreign languages.

KTU-SEM also offers accessible education options for women, individuals with disabilities, disadvantaged groups, and those seeking to rejoin the workforce, adopting an inclusive approach that promotes equal opportunities.
