We aim to enrich the existing organization with different working competencies

Speaking at the ceremony, Aktaş Holding Chief Executive Officer İskender Ulusay stated that this was one of the most special days for the company and added: "As a multinational company spread over 6 continents, we attach great importance to qualified human resources while transferring our 82 years of successful culture and values ​​to future generations. In particular, we attach great importance to youth employment. One of our most important criteria when implementing the project was that applicants did not have any previous work experience because, as Aktaş Holding, we aimed to provide young people with their first work experience within our company. As a company that employs over 500 people in different locations around the world, we attach great importance to diversity. In this respect, while we have been applying the gender equality approach in all our human resources policies, we have taken care to act with this priority in our 'Career School' project. Our only goal is to continue to enrich our current organization with different working competencies, to build the future of Aktaş Holding in the best way and to undertake works that will create added value for our country."

We made producing value a priority

Making a speech at the ceremony, Honorary Board Chairman of Aktaş Holding Şahap Aktaş highlighted: "I am someone who cares about investment in the future. For this reason, I always try to support and stand by young people and make sure that they develop themselves in the best way possible and make contributions to their homeland and people. We are personally involved in many organizations that will touch the future and shed light on our youth, both through Aktaş Holding and our Aktaş Education Foundation. In many of the works we have implemented, we have always given priority to one point: To be able to produce value... I believe and trust our youth and the future of this country."

Also speaking at the ceremony was Rector of Uludağ University Prof. Dr. A. Saim Kılavuz who stated: "I congratulate the trainees who graduated from the project and particularly Şahap Aktaş who made great effort to thrive Aktaş Holding which has added great value to the provincial industry in every sense and has an important place in the industrialization of Bursa. Such projects must continue in full swing in the development journey of our country."
