Bozdağ: Elevator sector needs “qualified personnel” not semi-skilled ones
In his speech, Cem Bozdağ said, “The only Vocational School specialized on elevator training is Has Asansör Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School.

Be aware of it.” He also stated that he was glad to see the sector representatives at the ceremony and thanked the teachers and the students’ parents.
