The 2026 public hiring wave in Turkey has expanded through August, with a significant focus on school safety and university staffing. A major initiative involving the Ministries of Interior, National Education, and Labour and Social Security aims to hire approximately 60,000 personnel to support schools across 81 provinces. This includes 30,000 security personnel recruited via the İŞKUR Community Benefit Program (TYP) to monitor entrances and use metal detectors, and roughly 30,000 cleaning staff. Security staff will serve a limited term of about nine months, with wages expected at the minimum wage level. Serdar Gökhan Arıkan, President of the TOBB Turkey Private Security Services Assembly, described the initiative as a “positive step for both institutional security and employment,” noting that personnel must hold valid private security identity cards in accordance with Law No. 5188 to ensure effective service. Recent developments show continued institutional recruitment and regional preparations. Konya Technical University announced the recruitment of 26 contract personnel, including computer engineers, technicians, security guards, and office staff, with applications running from September 2 to September 11, 2026. Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi has also announced the recruitment of 93 contracted personnel for its central organization, with selection based on 2024 KPSS scores and applications open from September 4 to September 18, 2026. This recruitment includes technicians, nurses, and support staff for central units and Farabi Hospital. Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University has also joined the drive, seeking 10 contracted staff members via the Kariyer Kapısı platform between September 7 and September 21, 2026. Selection will primarily use 2024 KPSS (B) scores, though roles like restorers may require practical exams. In early September, TYP lottery processes were conducted in several provinces. In Yozgat, lotteries determined principal and reserve candidates for security and cleaning roles across the center and districts such as Akdağmadeni, Sorgun, and Yerköy. In Kayseri, a notary-supervised lottery for TYP garden workers was held on September 2, 2026. Additionally, cleaning personnel lotteries have concluded in Zonguldak, with results available through local directorates and İŞKUR.
