Abstract
With the increase in education opportunities of individuals, the number of individuals graduating from universities increases. The competition for limited job opportunities has become even tougher in the face of this increase. It is important for individuals to train themselves in order to exist in a competitive environment. Being aware of this situation, graduates and students attend various courses, seminars or trainings with their individual efforts. Universities, on the other hand, have started to form career centers in order to support their graduates or existing students in a competitive environment. Career centers are career counseling services that enable individuals to realize their potential and career opportunities, make career plans and realize these plans. Today, career centers in both state and foundation universities operate as career application and research centers and career coordinators. In this study, it is aimed to examine career application and research centers in terms of general characteristics and services provided. This study is a descriptive study that expresses the current situation. Universities in the Black Sea Region constituted the sample of the study. For this purpose, document analysis was made by examining the web pages of the career application and research centers of universities. According to this analysis, it was determined that some career application and research centers work very actively, but some centers do not use web pages actively. In order to increase the role of career application and research centers supporting students in the competitive environment, some suggestions have been made for the improvement of career application and research centers.
