Şişecam has completed the first phase of its “Women Advancing into the Future” social responsibility program, launched as part of its 90th anniversary initiatives. A total of 960 young women from 9 provinces across Türkiye successfully participated in the program, gaining critical skills for their professional journeys.
Participants from Istanbul, Kocaeli, Mersin, Eskişehir, Bursa, Kırklareli, Ankara, Balıkesir, and Denizli received 13 training modules covering STEM, artificial intelligence, leadership, and personal development. Additionally, 7 experience-sharing sessions featuring Şişecam executives provided valuable insights and mentorship opportunities.

At the final stage of the program, participants developed 48 project ideas during an ideathon event.
These projects addressed key areas such as:
- Technology
- Sustainability

The initiative not only enhanced individual capabilities but also contributed to broader societal value creation.
Science-Based Program Design

This structured approach supports young women in building strong foundations for both academic and professional success.
