Secondary and high school students, who successfully completed a total of 7 hours of training over 112 weekends at Jan and Suphi Beyluni Anatolian High School in Hatay's Samandağ district and Muhtar Ahmet Yiğitoğlu Secondary School in Defne district, received their certificates from Turkcell administrators at the ceremony.
“We continue to provide qualified workforce to the country”
Turkcell General Manager Dr. gave information about the trainings and made a statement about the employment mobilization for the region. Ali Taha Koç said: “As Turkey's Turkcell, we started an 'Employment Mobilization' for our disaster-affected citizens in the provinces affected by the earthquake and their first-degree relatives studying outside the region. In this context, we also shared that we plan to expand the training and development programs in the earthquake region with Turkcell Academy, employ 1100 people in the region and provide training to more than 7 thousand people. The first of our Game+ coding trainings, which we carried out in cooperation with TÜBİSAD as one of these programs, has been completed. We organized bootcamp programs for secondary school and high school students, as well as university students within the scope of the Future Writers Program, to support their development and ensure their employment. Our secondary school, high school and university students who successfully completed the programs received their certificates. We saw the energy in the eyes of our young people who could safely navigate the labyrinths of the cyber world, start writing code, and develop games. We are with our young people precisely because of this hope in their eyes. We will continue our work on issues such as increasing the professional skills of our people in earthquake zones and supporting their technical development. We continue to provide qualified workforce to the country with trainings such as software, software testing expertise, robotic coding, cloud technologies, sales and marketing, and make significant contributions to employment. "Those who complete their training in the projects carried out by Turkcell will have the opportunity to find employment in Turkcell, Paycell, Atmosware, Turkcell Global Bilgi and Turkcell Dealer Sales channels."
