At ING Türkiye, we believe that it is vital to shape the workforce of the future today. We aim to contribute to creating equal opportunities in education and increase digital capabilities by implementing various projects.
Digital Teachers
We believe that education is one of the key areas that will drive Türkiye's digital transformation. Therefore, we launched the Digital Teachers project in 2020 in cooperation with
the Habitat Association and Middle East Technical University. The project is centered around digitalization, which forms the backbone of our strategy, with teachers at its focus.
The workshops with teachers showed that they would most like to improve themselves in digital literacy to communicate more effectively with their students and to increase the effectiveness of the education via digital tools. Since digitalization plays an essential role in ING's strategy, we aimed to transfer our know-how to them.
Our project seeks to help teachers step into the digitalized world, acquire digital literacy skills that they can use in education, transfer their skills to primary and secondary school students, and ensure that teachers from different regions have equal digital competence. Thus, we aim for teachers and students to become a part of the digital transformation, and ultimately contribute to the digital transformation in Türkiye.
Within the scope of the ongoing project, we have trained 10 thousand teachers since 2020 and indirectly reached about 250 thousand students. We continue to support teachers with our effective and up-to-date training program in a hybrid model with online and face-to-face trainings.
Orange Schools
In line with our responsible banking approach, we believe that community investments that make a difference in the lives of our children are important and we continue to provide support in line with our mission to contribute to access to better quality education. In this regard,
ING Türkiye - TEV Kindergarten, built in collaboration with the Turkish Education Foundation (TEV) in Kahramanmaraş, was opened in February 2025. In addition, we supported several primary schools located in Ağrı, Kahramanmaraş and Hatay provinces in various ways such as renovating the schools or building computer classrooms.
Scholarships
We aim to support creating equal opportunities in education through our scholarship funds.
In line with our commitment to foster gender equality, we contribute to the education of female engineering students with the ING - TEV Equal Future Fund, established through a scholarship fund agreement signed with
the Turkish Education Foundation (TEV).
Orange Support for Business Life
We opened a co-working space called Kahramanmaraş Orange Office as part of our Orange Support to Business Life project implemented in cooperation with the Habitat Association to contribute to the recovery of Kahramanmaraş after the earthquake. Entrepreneurs and students who were affected by the earthquake and who have no place to work can benefit from the co-working space located in the ING Türkiye Kahramanmaraş Operations and Call Center building. In the office,
the Habitat Association also conducts training and capacity-building programs.
Orange Support for Women Entrepreneurs
As ING Türkiye, we launched the
Orange Support for Women Entrepreneurs project to contribute to the recovery of Kahramanmaraş and support women entrepreneurs in the region in cooperation with
The Women Entrepreneurs Association of Turkey (KAGIDER). The project, targeting women producers, entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs affected by the earthquake, aims to contribute to the inclusion of women in the production process through education and mentoring support.
