for a Solid Profession, Solid Future Our founder M. Kemal Coşkunöz, known in the industry as "Teacher Kemal" owing to his background as a technical teacher, made many innovations in the industry, and always believed that every individual has a responsibility in solving social problems. He founded the Bursa Coşkunöz Education Foundation in 1988 ta address the shortcomings of vocational education - which he saw as one of Turkey's biggest problems, to meet the need for skilled technical workers in the automotive industry and to equip unemployed young people with the necessary skills to obtain jobs. The Coşkunöz Education Foundation, which was one of the first social responsibility projects developed in Turkey, continues to support vocational education by building on the solid foundations laid by him, in a way that he always dreamed of.
The Bursa Coşkunöz Education Foundation, a "Public Benefit Foundation", is funded by Coşkunöz Holding companies and spends 80% of its total income on technical training. Every year, the Foundation offers, with its cadre of trainers and educators, 18 months of theoretical and practical training as part of its vocational training program for high school graduates who have not had the opportunity to get further education and graduates these young individuals as qualified personnel. Under a protocol agreed upon with the Turkish Ministry of National Education (MEB), those who successfully complete the training course are awarded a Vocational Baccalaureate by MEB. At the same time, our foundation offers in-service training for public school technical teachers from different parts of Turkey.
