Increase in Vocational Training Support

Dear Member,

Law No. 7346 on Amendments to Certain Laws has been published in the Official Gazette dated 25 December 2021 and numbered 31700, and by this law;

• with its Article 12, the phrase "to 12th grade students of vocational education centres who have acquired journeyman competency, not less than fifty per cent of the minimum wage" has been added to the second sentence of the first paragraph of Article 25 of Vocational Education Law No. 3308, after the phrase "to candidate apprentices and apprentices, not less than thirty per cent of the minimum wage appropriate to their age".

• With its Article 14, the first paragraph of provisional Article 12 of Law No. 3308 has been amended as follows, and the following paragraphs have been added to the article after its first paragraph:

• "To be applied until the end of the 2016-2017 education and academic year, payments to be made under the first paragraph of Article 25 to candidate apprentices and apprentices and to students receiving vocational education in businesses, or attending internship or complementary training, pursuant to the provisions of Article 18, may not be less than thirty per cent of the net amount of the minimum wage, and payments to be made to 12th grade students of vocational education centres who have acquired journeyman competency may not be less than fifty per cent of the minimum wage. Of the minimum wage that may be paid to students studying in schools and institutions outside the vocational education centre programme, two thirds for businesses employing fewer than twenty personnel and one third for businesses employing twenty or more personnel, and the entire minimum wage that may be paid to students attending the vocational education centre programme, shall be paid as a State contribution from the amount allocated for sub-paragraph (h) of paragraph (B) of the third paragraph of Article 53 of Unemployment Insurance Law No. 4447 dated 25/8/1999. The President is authorised to extend the payments to be made within this scope for up to ten education and academic years. Internships of secondary education students who do their internship at school because no business can be found for the internship, and of higher education students who are not required to do an internship under their curriculum, are outside the scope of this paragraph. No State contribution is paid to public institutions and organizations."

• "The State contribution paid pursuant to this article shall be transferred from the budget of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to the Unemployment Insurance Fund within two months following the date on which the payment is made."

• Due to the amendments made to the first paragraph by the Law regulating this paragraph, no retroactive wage or State contribution payment shall be made for the period prior to the 2021-2022 education and academic year."
