Ozyegin University Center for Entrepreneurship in Istanbul, Turkey launched its first Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women program in 2010. According to program manager Imge Kaya, 72% of the first group of graduates achieved growth in their businesses. After evaluating 1,344 candidates, Kaya and her colleagues launched the latest training for 135 women in May. K@W 10,000 Women spoke with Kaya and Utku Tuncay, monitoring and evaluation liaison for the program, about 10,000 Women's success in Turkey and why promoting women entrepreneurship is critical for Turkey's economic growth.
Knowledge@Wharton 10,000 Women: How do you feel your program is unique in terms of bringing in guest speakers and other training aspects?
Kaya: We have six modules created just for this program and for the needs of Turkey. We don't use the curriculum of another university. We [teach] the principles of Entrepreneurshie, marketing and sales, organizational planning and process management, accounting and finance, access to capital and business plan development. In our access to capital module, for example, we bring in speakers from the most important funding resources in Turkey. One of them is KOSGEB, the government organization for supporting SMEs. They come to the class and talk about their laws and grants for entrepreneurs. We also have KGF, the credit guarantee fund of Turkey. The women do not generally know anything about KGF, which they can use as collateral for bank [loans]. Now they know about this opportunity. We also have bank managers who tell women what criteria they are looking for on the credit applications. We are supporting women [in the program] with real-world guest speakers from the country.
Knowledge@Wharton 10,000 Women: How will you carry the program forward?
Kaya: The university wants to keep it going. Many banks are coming to us to start a relationship. We will start working with those banks after the Goldman Sachs program is over. We also have a close relationship with KOSGEB, which will help our university support entrepreneurship and these types of programs in the future. Also, we meet with the [women graduates] every month to check on their progress.
Knowledge@Wharton 10,000 Women: What does it mean for Ozyegin University to participate in the 10,000 Women program?
Kaya: Actually, it means a lot. Ozyegin is the only university in Turkey that positions itself as an entrepreneurial university. The owner of our university [Husnu Ozyegin] is the most successful entrepreneur in Turkey. He started out as an employee and now has more than $3.5 billion.
