What Yetkin Gençlerin İşgücüne Katılımı Projesi does

Yetkin Gençlerin İşgücüne Katılımı Projesi (NEET - Labour Market Support Programme for Young People Not in Employment Education or Training) is a Turkish government grant scheme operated by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (Çalışma ve Sosyal Güvenlik Bakanlığı) through its Directorate of Foreign Relations and European Union General Directorate, headquartered in Ankara. The program targets NEET youth aged 15-29 who are disengaged from education, employment, and training, and is co-financed by the European Union under the Human Resources Development Operational Program (İnsan Kaynaklarının Geliştirilmesi Operasyonel Programı). It is one of six grant schemes administered through a shared portfolio that also includes VOC-Test III, OHSMS, IQSES, IQVET-III, and FOW programs covering vocational training, mining occupational health and safety, inclusive special education, and gender-focused future of work initiatives.

The program's core technological platform is the Projematik web application (projematik.ikg.gov.tr), which handles user registration, application processing, and grant scheme administration. The portal features captcha-based authentication, user credential management, and a Turkish/English bilingual interface. The entity maintains KVKK (Law No. 6698) compliance through a formally published privacy notice (Aydınlatma Metni) that governs personal data processing and authorizes transfers to the EU Turkey Delegation under explicit consent. With approximately 11 employees, the entity functions as a small administrative unit within the Ministry.

The business model is non-commercial: the program is funded through EU grants and Turkish government budgets rather than product or service revenue. There is no pricing structure, as grants are distributed to eligible applicants — primarily NEET youth, educational institutions, vocational training centers, and implementing organizations. The program operates under a government-to-citizen (G2C) distribution model, reaching beneficiaries through the online portal and Ministry field offices domestically within Turkey.

Direct peers

• EURES: EU-coordinated job mobility network linking public employment services and labor market information across member/partner states. Comparable as an EU-instrument enabling cross-border labor market access for youth and job seekers, aligned with the NEET program's EU operational framework.
• France Travail (formerly Pôle Emploi): French national employment agency operating job matching, training, and youth (NEET) support programs funded through EU and national channels. Directly comparable as a European public workforce agency integrating employment services with training subsidies.
• Türkiye İş Kurumu (İŞKUR): Turkish Public Employment Service under the same Ministry of Labor and Social Security that operates the NEET program. İŞKUR directly delivers labor market intermediation, vocational training subsidies, and youth employment programs — overlapping mandate and target population with the NEET grant scheme.

Broad incumbents

• CEDEFOP (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training): EU agency providing policy analysis, research, and guidance on vocational education and training across Europe. Highly comparable as an EU-institutional actor supporting the same VET and workforce development themes (IQVET-III, VOC-Test) addressed by the İKG program.
• United Nations Development Programme (UNDP): UN global development network financing inclusive growth, skills development, and youth employment initiatives in Turkey and beyond. Comparable as a multilateral donor with adjacent programs in NEET youth inclusion and inclusive education in the same operating geography.
• International Labour Organization (ILO): UN specialized agency setting global labor standards and supporting youth employment, vocational training, and future-of-work programs. Comparable as a multilateral institution addressing the same NEET, decent work, and gender-equality outcomes the FOW and NEET schemes target.
• World Bank Group: Multilateral development bank financing youth employment, TVET, and social inclusion operations in Turkey and peer emerging economies. Comparable as a large-scale institutional funder operating in the same workforce development and skills-policy space as the İKG grant portfolio.
• European Training Foundation (ETF): EU agency supporting vocational education and workforce development in EU partner countries, including Turkey. Directly comparable in mandate, geography, and EU funding logic — operating in the same policy space as the NEET and inclusive education grant schemes.
• Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ): German federal development agency implementing workforce development, TVET, and youth employment programs worldwide, often co-financed by EU instruments. Comparable as a publicly-funded implementer of EU-aligned workforce and inclusive education programs in partner countries.

Regional players

• Agence Française de Développement (AFD): French bilateral development agency financing education, skills, and inclusive growth projects in partner countries including Turkey. Comparable as a European bilateral donor active in the same EU-adjacent workforce and inclusive education thematic space.
