It is not easy to find a place in the labor market for young workers. Therefore, they usually change occupations. They also try to get new skills to find a place in the labor market. The transition from school to work is important to cope with youth unemployability, and the best way to do it is to link students more closely to jobs through vocational education programs and through apprenticeships with firms. The aim of this research was to understand and interpret the opinions of the young people on vocational education they took in a Project under Grant Scheme for Promoting Youth Employment in Sectoral Investment Areas as the reasons of joining this Project, the preparations before the Project and the benefits of the Project. The research is a qualitative study with a multiple holistic case study design. Data were collected via interviews by using semi-structured interview form. At the end of the research, conclusions emerged under three themes. The first one was that the main reason for joining the project was improving their skills and learning basics of cookery. The young people’s reasons of participation in Project training are getting cetificate which will help them to find job easily and improving oneself and learning new things. Suitably, it is understood that young people participated in the training for finding a job with the certificate they will get at the end of training.
