MATCHYOU

CATCH
Find a job that changes your career plan or fit your skills best!
You match what you catch… is that really finding a job? New project called EMLT, is prepared just for finding
the real answer for this question. EMLT Project is a digital learning management system that aims to destroy
educatıon job mismatch. EMLT, led by Anadolu University and also supported by EU and Turkısh National
Agency, serves people a good career map.
Educatıon job mismatch is one of the most important issues while talking about educated unemployment.
Let’s have a look at the following questions to understand the whole story;
• Reasons of unemployment?
• Reasons that cause us working at the job that doesn’t fit our skills?
Generally, a directly proportional relationship is expected between the education level and the economic
development. Does it mean when the number of educated people increases, unemployment level may
decrease? In fact, the main reason is not only the level of education but also the alternative investments that
make the unemployment rate decrease. That is what we experience nowadays. Young
people are highly educated but because of the mismatch they are unhappy!
Unemployment is a big problem not just for young people; it also badly
affects the living standards of all people. Besides that, especially new
candidates looking for a suitable job for a long time are getting more
and more discouraged unless the economics can find a solutıon.
Young people who are seeking for o job choose an
improper one which doesn’t fit their skills just to quit
the responsibilities they have to their families.
The expectations make unemployed people
agree with the idea “you match what you
catch”. Moreover, new candidates
also feel them as if they have
to make quick decision on
their occupation putting
their all skills and
dreams away.

All things we
mentioned above are
called Education – Job
Mismatch which creates
lots of unhappily employed or
unemployed people at all. Some
says that their skills are more than the job
requires.[1]
According to the research made by TUİK in 2015,
among 18-24 aged people only %3,7 of them were
happy with their job. When it comes to all ages the rates are
decreasing year by year. İn 2004 rate of people describing their
job as the happiness factor was %4,3 and in 2014 it was %2,2. [2]
The gap between education-job is incredibly getting higher day by day.
Education-job mismatch results in inefficient working conditions. Education-job
mismatch results in inefficient working conditions. In 2013, people who have bachelor’s
degree and unemployed were 557 thousands in Turkey. %14 of them worked in a temporary job so unemployed
then, nearly %10 of them were fired, %4 of them unemployed because of bankruptcy and finally %21 of them
were unemployed because of resigning.[3]
As a result of this Project, the young will be able to decrease the mismatch level by using both national and
international distanced e-learning materials. This will be the result of a big study of all partners both national
and international. Both public and private sector are the partners in the project so any suggestions or different
point of views will strengthen the communication between the job and the educatıon.
This is a real adventure! This bulletin aims to tell you all the details of the adventure and also have the
feedback coming from you to make things better.
Please don’t hesitate to share your opinions with us!
Keep in touch and wait for the next!
