Beginning a Scientific Journey from İnebolu to the Heart of Europe
On June 28, 2026, joyful news was published for the educational community of İnebolu district in Kastamonu province. Students from the İnebolu Mecit Çetinkaya Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School (İnebolu Mecit Çetinkaya MTAL) prepared themselves for a life-changing journey to Vienna, the capital of Austria. This trip, organized under the Erasmus+ accreditation program in the field of Vocational Education and Training (KA121-VET), provides an exceptional opportunity for the youth of this region to become closely acquainted with European working standards.

According to the planned schedule, this delegation includes four talented students named Semih Esecikoğlu, Ömer Kurt, Enes Eren Bal, and Eren Çelik. These students, under the supervision of Hasan Erdoğan, the head of the school's Electrical and Electronics department, will stay in Vienna from June 29 to July 17, 2026, to complete their practical courses.

Internship in Leading Austrian Companies
One of the prominent features of this internship period is the students' presence in real business environments. Based on reports published in local media such as Açıksöz Gazetesi, these students will work at reputable companies such as Der Automeister, BAYKON BAYIK KG, and DiskontInstallationen KG. [1]
During these three weeks, technical students have the chance to observe the world's latest technologies in their specialized fields and experience international work processes firsthand. This experience not only updates their technical knowledge but also strengthens the confidence necessary for them to enter global labor markets. [1][3]
Educational Goals and Personal Skill Development
The Erasmus+ project is not limited to technical skills alone. The school management emphasized that these international mobility programs play a key role in developing students' personalities and soft skills. Familiarization with different cultures, strengthening foreign language skills, and understanding work ethics in Europe are among the other goals of this trip. [1]
Previously, in April 2026, other groups of students from İnebolu were sent to Vienna for similar projects, indicating the successful continuation of international cooperation in the region's educational system. [2] This approach has made İnebolu district one of the leading centers in benefiting from European Union educational funds.
Media Coverage and Local Support
The news of the İnebolu students' trip to Vienna has received widespread coverage in the media of Kastamonu province. Açıksöz Gazetesi, by providing detailed coverage of this event, emphasized the importance of supporting vocational and technical education. The school management, while wishing success for the students, expressed gratitude to all institutions and organizations that played a role in the preparation and implementation of this project. [1]
These scientific and educational movements represent a bright horizon for young people who, relying on technical knowledge and international experience, intend to build their professional future not only in Turkey but on a global scale. [3]
