Abstract:

With the widespread use of private security and protection associate degree programs, qualified security officers needed by the security sector are trained to meet the security needs of the globalizing world by supporting them with academic education. Graduates of the private security and protection program are employed in private and public areas. In order for graduates to work in public institutions, “Public Personnel Selection Exam (KPSS) Associate License” score is required. The aim of the research; From 2016 to 2022, the number of students in the private security and protection program, the number of graduates and the number of vacancies in public areas were analyzed and the situation was evaluated on the basis of public placement rates. As a result of the research; From 2016 to 2022, it was determined that although the number of graduates from the private security and protection program is very high, the number of appointments made in this field is very insufficient. The probability of male graduates of private security and protection programs to be appointed to the public with the title of “Protection and Security Officer” is 2.3% in total. Female graduates, on the other hand, do not have the possibility of being appointed to the public sector as they are not allocated the title of “Protection and Security Officer”.
