Educaturk Student Recruitment Fairs

Educaturk Student Recruitment exhibition attracts over 350 local and international educational institutions: Private and public language schools, high schools, colleges, universities, Executive MBA and vocational programs, as well as cultural attachés, camp programs, career pathway programs, Work and Travel providers and education counselling professionals.

International exhibitors join from around the world, representing dozens of destinations including Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, France, Japan, Germany and the UK, to mention a few. Local schools also make up all levels of education from across Turkey and supporting bodies such as the National Ministry of Education, the EU National Agency, local embassy and cultural centre representatives support Educaturk exhibitions.

Exhibitors may be represented by whomever they choose; that is, school representatives are free to invite local agents of their choice to assist at their booths. This gives you the opportunity to get to know your agents better, train their staff on your programs and ensure immediate follow-up by a local professional on the leads you get during the exhibitions. Or, if you don’t work with agents, invite an alum or ask us to hire a translator to assist at your booth.

Educaturk Student Recruitment Fair is the only in Turkey that combine local and international exhibitors, making it the ideal venue at which to foster strong, professional bonds. Spend some time visiting with your peers and making appointments with existing and prospective exchange and co-operation partners who also attend Educaturk. And enjoy networking in the less formal environment of our opening reception, held for all exhibitors.

International exhibitors will enjoy special Turkish evenings hosted by Educaturk, at which you can enjoy the company of your international peers and some fine Turkish food and hospitality.

We will also give special invitations at some of our events to quality education counsellors to visit with international exhibitors who are interested in meeting with these industry professionals. The Educaturk team will advise you on this offer so you can choose to opt for this or decline. Everyone has a different business model, and we give flexible options to suit yours.

Educaturk fairs are supported by Ministry of Education and Turkish National Agency – a center for European Union Education and Youth Programmes, as well as cultural attaches such as Goethe, DAAD, Cervantes, British Council, Fulbright and AIESEC. It also attracts sponsors like Renault and Nestle.

A standard equipped stand at this event will include a fascia board, carpet, waste bin, 2 book shelves, counter, 2 bar stools, table, 2 chairs, electric socket, wireless internet and basic entry in the fair catalogue.
