Abstract

In this study, two programs which are being implemented in Ege University [13] since 2002 are presented. These programs are based on international standards. One of the programs is for the students of the university, the other one is for the people who are unemployed or who want to be employed in Information Technology (IT) business. The first education program that covers all university students is based on the standard of international European Computer Driving License (ECDL). The second program is IT employment program that is based on the curriculum of American Computing Association (ACM). The design, implementation and results of both of these programs are discussed in this study.
