The European Commission has provided a grant worth €45.45 million ($55.7 million) to support employment for Turkish citizens and Syrian refugees, the country's official gazette said Wednesday.
The grant is administered by the World Bank.
The agreement was signed between the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and International Bank For Reconstruction and Development, as the manager of World Bank's fund.
Within the scope of the agreement, Syrian and Turkish people will be supported to find a job, learn skills and get an education.
The refugees will also get a chance to learn the Turkish language.
Turkish Employment Agency (ISKUR) will run the program under terms of the agreement.
Turkey, as the largest refugee-hosting country in the world, hosts more than 3.5 million Syrian refugees.
