What are TurkishWIN’s “Win Next Generation” #GiveBack programs?

We offer accessible role models, career tips and relevant networks  in three programs/platforms: CampusWIN Academy, BinYaprak and Milyon Kadına Mentor Hareketi. 

CampusWIN Academy is the leadership program of the Turkish Women’s International Network since 2012.  

The program admits up to 100 female university students during an academic year. Our recruitment process is rigorous and led in partnership with ManpowerGroup Turkey. 

CampusWINners lead the change they want to see at university campuses for a gender equal future in society and at the workplace. They invest five hours a week for this goal. We invest in their leadership and give them tools to realize this goal. Rising leaders complete the program in three academic years and graduate to the CampusWIN Alumni Network. 

CampusWINners GiveBack by: 

• Leading the organization of the TurkishWIN Career Day, the only career day for female university students in Turkey since 2015. Their impact: Over 5000 sisters attended these events. (2021)
• Leading and supporting the only local student clubs with the name “woman” in their name: Women in Business/ Iste Kadin Kulupleri since 2012. Their impact: 11 Women in Business Clubs are operational all over Turkey (2021) 
• Sharing their experiences, role models and career tips in blogs, live events and videos at BinYaprak since 2015. Their impact: >1 million in reach (2021) 

We have designed a program we wish we had in our university years. You can learn more about the CampusWIN Academy program here. 

We have been sharing  our know-how  at BinYaprak to help our sisters  build the careers they love since 2015. We have created a safe space for us and our ecosystem to share role model stories, career tips and networks for peer sharing and support. As of June 2021, BinYaprak has over 17 thousand members and a digital subscriber base close to 100 thousand. 

We launched our latest #WinNextGeneration giveback program on March 8, 2021. We are a proud partner of the Million Women Mentor program - aka Milyon Kadına Mentor. The main goal of the program is to connect private, public and NGO sector leaders with young women (15-25 year old) for mentorship opportunities in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. We hope to reach 1 million mentoring connections in 10 years. 

The program was founded together with the U.S. Chamber’s U.S.-Turkey Business Council and its Women in Business Initiative co-chairs Ümran Beba, Co-founder, Beba Foundation & Partner, August Leadership and Canan Özsoy, CEO, GE Turkey, alongside the project partners TurkishWIN's BinYaprak platform and TOBB. The program convenes STEMConnector’s global expertise and TurkishWIN’s wide network of mentors and mentees and is supported by our Founding Circle partners: Beba Foundation, Limak Holding, Logo Yazılım, PepsiCo Turkey,  and Petrol Ofisi.
