Internal Training at Turk Telekom:

A Mission Rooted in Wisdom and Humanity

Education is an indispensable tool in humanity’s journey to discover its existential truth. This journey goes beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge; it is a transformative path that nurtures individuals, fostering their growth through both intellect and heart. At Türk Telekom, our internal trainers serve as guides who bridge knowledge and wisdom, bringing this philosophy into the corporate realm.

As Nurettin Top?u eloquently stated, "The love of truth begins when the souls of teacher and student are bound to the same ideal." In this light, our internal trainers are not merely conveyors of technical knowledge. They are leaders who inspire our employees to uncover their individual potential and transform it into societal benefit. As Professor Dr. Sadettin ?kten remarked, "A teacher is not simply someone who imparts knowledge; they open horizons and unlock the doors to new worlds." At Türk Telekom, this philosophy aims not only to enhance the professional skills of our colleagues but also to expand their capacity for critical thinking, inquiry, and creative problem-solving.

Türk Telekom's strategic vision extends beyond developing communication infrastructure. It also encompasses enabling our workforce to adapt to digital transformation, enhancing competitiveness, and contributing to sustainable success. By integrating innovative technologies such as digital learning platforms, simulations, and virtual reality, our training processes support these objectives. This approach ensures that our colleagues are equipped not only to adapt to the rapidly evolving dynamics of telecommunications but also to face future challenges with confidence.

We see our employees not merely as human resources but as our company’s most valuable assets. Guided by this perspective, we refer to Human Resources as "Human Values," aiming to nurture not only the professional growth of our team members but also their personal fulfillment and happiness. This ethos forms the foundation of our corporate culture, empowering individuals to make meaningful contributions to their work and to the wider community.

Our internal trainers embrace a sense of responsibility and the mission of being role models. They are dedicated to continuous learning and development, strengthening team communication, and embodying the values of our organization. Their role is pivotal in passing on our corporate culture and acting as mentors to their colleagues.

At the heart of our training initiatives lies the concept of the "Living University". This approach represents a dynamic philosophy that continuously renews and integrates knowledge, technology, and human resources into business processes, fostering a culture of both “learning and teaching”.

In conclusion, we perceive the process of education and mentorship not merely as a professional endeavor but as a holistic journey of individual and societal growth. These dedicated efforts are not seen as obligations but as moral responsibilities and acts of service contributing to national progress. Together with our colleagues, we strive to build a future infused with values and wisdom, working tirelessly toward this noble vision.
