61% of the employers in Turkey’s Information and Communication Technologies Sector cite ‘lack of skills in applicants’ among the top challenges they face. On the other hand, youth unemployment in Turkey is among the highest in OECD countries and Computer Science graduates are the 10th most unemployed graduate group (SASAM). So there is clearly a significant gap between the needs of the sector and the skills of the graduates.
Kodluyoruz is a nonprofit, working to make Turkey a talent hub by creating pathways for driven young people seeking careers in technology sector. While changing lives, new technologies can create new, high value jobs: AI is projected to create 2.3 million related jobs by 2020.
Come and learn from Gulcan Yayla, a young social entrepreneur and co-founder of Kodluyoruz/We Code on how their organisation works with technology firms and underprivileged youth in filling the technology skills gap while also creating a future for youth.
