Abstract :This study examines the integration of Syrian labour into the industrial sector of Konya, focusing on key structural challenges and opportunities. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilising semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders to gain insights into the impact of the Syrian workforce in Konya’s industrial sector. The data were analysed using discourse analysis to capture the depth of these interactions. The findings indicate that while the Syrian workforce has significantly filled an employment gap within the sector, persistent structural issues, including unregistered employment, lack of work permits, professional ethics concerns, and work discipline, pose significant challenges.
