We are leading the efforts to educate women leaders and engineer candidates
Ms. Ebru Özdemir, Chair of Limak Foundation Board of Trustees, stated in her opening remarks that TMK project, in its fourth year and becoming a brand, was leading the efforts to educate women leaders and engineer candidates. She said: “Our adventure started with 40 students in the first year, enlisted 65 in the second year, then 100 in the third year, and 110 this fourth year. Our pool of mentors expanded. Coaches and graduates of our programme joined us as well. We acquired “new friends” to our TMK Family through new partnerships.” Noting that the goal of TMK was to raise responsible, responsive, entrepreneur, leader engineer candidates of tomorrow, Ms. Özdemir emphasised that “our aim is to inspire women engineer candidates who are capable of leading us in the future, and identify women leaders who will guide the future of our country, and shatter the so-called ‘glass ceilings’.”
