WE BRING YOUNG PEOPLE TOGETHER WITH THE POWER OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Speaking at the opening of the project, which aims to increase young people’s career potential by bringing together entrepreneurship and education, HKU Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Mehmet Lütfi Yola drew attention to the University’s entrepreneurship activities and the aims of the project. Prof. Dr. Yola said, “This project aims to encourage our young people to be bold in entrepreneurship by bringing them together with new ideas. We must not forget that entrepreneurship plays a critical role in the future of young people and the country. The main aim of our project is to help our young people better understand the dynamics of the business world and to offer them the opportunity to develop their entrepreneurship skills. By encouraging our young people to think creatively, we aim to increase their leadership capacity. As Hasan Kalyoncu University, we are delighted to enable our young people to share experiences at an international level. This project aims to bring the business world and young people together more strongly. I believe this project will create opportunities for young entrepreneurs.”
Stressing that they will continue to support young people’s career journeys with international projects of this kind, Erasmus Institutional Coordinator and School of Foreign Languages Lecturer Simge Yılmaz said, “Our young people will be able to reflect the unique experiences this project brings into their own entrepreneurship stories. As HKU, we will continue to provide our young people with the tools they need to be competitive in the international arena.”
