employees. The aim of the study is to evaluate the reflections of AF skills, which have changed
with industry 4.0, to businesses and to examine the training areas that employees receive. For this
purpose, the training areas, knowledge and skills of AF employees were examined from the
LinkedIn corporate page of the 50 companies with the highest large-scale financial performance
