Transforming dreams and ideas into innovative products

Now, as an active participant of the JA Company Programme, I feel that I am really getting a taste of what it is like to start and run a business. I have learned to network more actively and am starting to feel more entrepreneurial. The programme has really affected me in three main areas: self-confidence, presentation and opening the door to my future. It helped build my self-confidence and taught me how to present myself in a more professional way, both invaluable qualities regardless of my future career. Finally, this programme inspired my future. By opening the door to the working world, we have a better understanding of what lies ahead and the skills to go out and achieve our goals.  

What really inspires me is innovation, how a product can come along and make our lives easier. Before the JA Company Programme, I saw these innovations as mysterious, a dream. But now, I know that by combining new creative ideas with hard-work, we can create successful and innovative products. We can take our dreams and fulfil them, we can make the impossible possible.  By Pelin Işeri from Mustafa
