Occupational Profiles of Graduates With Examples

Mushroom cultivation shows a very rapid development in our country. But the desired dimensions have not been reached yet. The main reason for this is the insufficient consumption of mushrooms in our country and the fact that our people do not have enough information about mushrooms. Currently, job opportunities are predominantly in the private sector, and within the possibilities of those who have received the title of technician, they can also provide employment opportunities by doing this cultivation. However, if we take into account the rapid development of mushroom cultivation in our country, we believe that it will provide the opportunity to find a job as a large sector in the near future.
