"First of all, I would like to thank the Autodesk Turkey family for organizing such a program. I think the most important thing that the program added to me is perspective and vision by listening to people in different positions. This program is very valuable and meaningful. In particular, I would like to state that I can support as much as I can for the development of this voluntary program in the following periods."
- Burak Uzuntas / ITU - Ship and Marine Technology Engineering
"In my interviews as a professional coach, I always realize that individuals forget themselves. When we remember ourselves, “potential” also emerges spontaneously. It was one of the meaningful experiences in my life to see the hope, search and belief in a group of young engineers and to be able to help them understand that their potential is not limited to the current situation. Thank you for inviting me to this program."
- Kemal Başaranoğlu / Professional Certified Coach & Harvard Business Review Author
