TOBB
President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu thanked Governor Erdoğan Bektaş and Rector
Prof. Dr. Mustafa Çufalı in his speech in Çaycuma. Stating that Çaycuma has
begun to become an important investment center with its developing industry,
Hisarciklıoğlu said, “There is an airport, there is an OIZ. 90% of Filyos Port
is complete. When it's finished, it will be the third largest in Turkey with a
handling capacity of 25 million tons. This will be the gateway not only to the
Western Black Sea, but also to the sea of Central Anatolia. I would like to
thank my Çaycuma CCI President, our board and council members, all my working
brothers and sisters who work for the development of Çaycuma. President Zekai
Kamitoğlu is also my colleague in Ankara. We work together at the TOBB Wishes
Review Commission. He represents Çaycuma in Ankara in the best way. Çaycuma CCI
is an accredited chamber. It offers a 5-star service to its member. I
congratulate our Çaycuma CCI for this contemporary vision."
- Çaycuma education investments
Stating
that they are also proud of the educational investments of Çaycuma CCI, TOBB
President Hisarcıklıoğlu said: “When I came in 2013, we opened the science high
school that our chamber had built. Today we are also inaugurating a new
training facility of our Chamber. Our chamber also upholds our local values.
You have applied for the registration of Çaycuma ox yogurt as a geographically
marked product. My congratulations. I hope that with your efforts, Çaycuma will
become richer.”
Stating
that as TOBB and Chamber-Exchange community, they are working to support the
business world, to facilitate their work, Hisarciklıoğlu said, “I'm just going
to tell you about one of the things we do so I don't take too much of your
time. Together with the Ministry of National Education, we began an endeavor that
we have always dreamed of in regards to vocational education. Here we are working
with our previous Rector Mahmut Özer. In every province, starting with a single
vocational high school, Chamber-Exchange will be paired, having a say. Çaycuma
can also pair with a school. Thanks to this new cooperation, I hope that we
will raise vocational education to the highest level all over Turkey.”
