ISTANBUL - In Turkey, significant steps are being taken to ensure that women participate in the workforce more actively and effectively. The Energy School for Women Project is being implemented to close the gap between male and female employment rates in the energy sector.
The project supports women working in the electrical energy sector or planning a career in this sector to deepen their knowledge and experience, thus further supporting women's participation in the sector. It is carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Family and Social Services, Reges Elektrik, and Istanbul Kültür University.
In this context, a Cooperation Protocol was signed between the Ministry of Family and Social Services of the Republic of Turkey and Reges Elektrik on 17 January 2025, contributing to the increase of women's employment in the energy sector.
