The second edition of Talent for BIZ, a career event held under the auspices of the Human Resources Office of the Presidency of Turkey aiming to connect young talents with global Turkish companies, was held Saturday in London.

Human resources experts at the Turkuvaz Media stand informed visitors about job and internship opportunities as well as career coaching and one-on-one job interviews.​

Arzu Ardıç Çil, recruitment and talent manager at Turkuvaz Media, said in an interview that choosing a profession for the first time is very important for new graduates, advising students enrolled in graduate and postgraduate programs to monitor such events to find internship opportunities.

Ümit Yalçın, Turkey's ambassador to the U.K., and Salim Atay, the head of the Human Resources Office of the Presidency of Turkey, were among the visitors of the Turkuvaz Media stand.

Turkey's flag carrier airline Turkish Airlines (THY), the biggest cellphone operator Turkcell, defense companies ASELSAN, HAVELSAN and Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), Europe's leading electronics and home appliances manufacturers Arçelik and Vestel and leading private bank İş were among the sponsors and participants of the event organized by the Career and Talent Management Association (KYYD).
