News Text: MIT, one of the most famous universities in the USA, and Turkcell have achieved a world first. The two institutions establishing an Online Entrepreneurship MBA program will provide education in Turkish and English
Turkcell Digital Academy has achieved a world first with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the world-famous technology universities. By achieving a first in the field of online education, the two organizations prepared the world’s first ‘Entrepreneurship MBA’ (Innovator’s MBA) program with Turkish and English content. Within the scope of this agreement with Turkcell, MIT’s Online Education Platform collaborated with a company in the field of online education for the first time in the world.
OUR PRIORITY IS EDUCATION
Within the scope of the trainings, an MIT edX certificate will be given to those who complete the free Entrepreneurship-101 and Entrepreneurship-102 courses and pass the tests. Speaking at the launch meeting of the collaboration held at the MIT campus in Boston, Turkcell General Manager Ciliv said, “The path to success in the new world goes through technology and innovation. Those who make a difference using technology seize the opportunity to get one step ahead, no matter where they are in the world. As Turkcell, we are working hard to provide benefits to Turkey with the solutions we develop on our superior network infrastructure. Education comes first among these solutions for us. We make it our principle to pave the way for entrepreneurship and innovation by collaborating with the best solution partners.” ****WILL BE OPEN TO 70 MILLION **
Ciliv said, “It is precisely for this reason that we focused on entrepreneurship with MIT. We want to see our companies that achieve success by using new technologies from our country in global markets. In our collaboration with MIT, we focused on entrepreneurship in the content of our first online MBA program. This program will be open to 70 million people and free of charge. We asked why successful entrepreneurs of the world should not emerge from us, and for the first time, we prepared an online MBA program open to the whole world in Turkish.”
CERTIFICATE WILL BE GIVEN
The Entrepreneurship MBA program can be accessed via Turkcell Digital Academy. The Entrepreneurship-101 course within the scope of the program starts on January 12 and lasts for 12 weeks. The course content includes 57 training videos, success stories, tests, and assessment exams. With the Entrepreneurship-101 course, it is aimed to equip participants with skills in determining which customers to reach and understanding customer needs. The Entrepreneurship-102 course also starts on January 12. The program, which will remain open for 16 weeks, includes 30 training videos. In its content, answers to the question “What can you do for your customer” are provided to prospective entrepreneurs.
WE ARE WATCHING WITH ADMIRATION
MITEdx Digital Learning Platform Director Prof. Dr. Sanjay Sarma, emphasizing that the way of learning in the world has changed a lot in recent years; said “We experienced the biggest change in education with the entry of the internet into our lives. We now know that the human brain’s learning span is only 15 minutes. So we started providing education online. We have been watching what Turkcell has achieved in online education over the last two years with admiration. With Turkcell’s experience and content support, as MIT, we are producing two full course programs on innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology. For the first time at MIT, we are creating courses in Turkish.” ■ source Sabah newspaper**
