CUSTOMIZED TRAINING FROM OUR UNIVERSITY TO GEDIK KAYNAK HENDEK FACTORY: “LEADERSHIP JOURNEY FOR BLUE-COLLAR AND GREY-COLLAR MANAGERS”

Our university has taken a significant step towards enhancing leadership and management skills in the industrial sector. The “Leadership Journey for Blue-Collar and Grey-Collar Managers” training, held at Gedik Kaynak Hendek Factory, was successfully completed over two days with the participation of 50 attendees under the guidance of Asst. Prof. Nilüfer Çelikkol and Asst. Prof. Tuğbay Burçin Gümüş.

The training program was meticulously designed to strengthen participants’ leadership capabilities and enable them to play more effective roles in their professional lives. Key topics such as Leadership and Stress Management, Risk and Crisis Management, Strategic Management, Empathy and Emotional Intelligence, Communication and Conflict Management, and Quality-Oriented Management were delivered through interactive sessions and hands-on activities.

Participants were provided with the opportunity to translate theoretical knowledge into practical applications, enriched with real-world examples. This allowed them to develop competencies to better manage challenges they may encounter in their daily work environments and execute their leadership roles more effectively.

It is well-recognized that such training programs, conducted in collaboration with our university’s industrial partners, significantly contribute to the development of high-quality human resources and effective management practices in the business world. Continuing to deliver similar events to broader audiences will further strengthen the collaboration between the industrial and academic sectors and elevate quality standards in professional life.
