Abdülhamid, Dersaadet Chamber of Commerce was founded completing the organization actions in 1882. [5] Dersaadet Chamber of Commerce provided the qualified personnel required by commercial life mostly from Darülfünun. This case would eventually evolve into the process of training the already trained manpower of himself.
