Strengthening Industry-Academia Collaboration
Demonstrating its commitment to youth development, ODAŞ signed a cooperation protocol with Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in 2024, further integrating students into the industry. As part of this partnership:
🔹 Students participate in internship programs that bridge theory and practice.
🔹 Technical visits to Çan2 Thermal Power Plant offer hands-on learning about energy production processes.
🔹 Final-year students complete a semester-long internship at the power plant, gaining valuable experience in the energy sector.
Through these initiatives, ODAŞ continues to support the next generation of professionals, ensuring they enter the workforce with the skills and experience needed for success.
In the wake of the devastating earthquake on February 6, 2023, approximately 100 ODAŞ employees, including miners and staff from various roles, voluntarily joined the search and rescue efforts in the disaster zone. This critical experience reinforced the importance of well-trained teams in crisis situations, inspiring us to take further action.
Volunteers in Action
Building on this experience, ODAŞ established the Çan2 Thermal Power Plant Search and Rescue Team to ensure our employees are equipped with the necessary skills to respond effectively to emergencies. Comprising volunteer employees, the team is undergoing the AFAD accreditation process and participates in an extensive year-round training program. These volunteers receive training in safe working principles, risk assessment, security protocols, and the coordination and management of rescue operations. Additionally, they benefit from psychological support programs offered by AFAD. To reinforce their skills, team members take part in drills both within the power plant and in external exercises, ensuring full preparedness for real-world scenarios.
‘ODAŞ to Become the Third Accredited Organization in the Region’
Highlighting the critical role of organized and well-trained teams in disaster response, Ali Kemal Kazancı, President of ODAŞ Mining and Construction Group, stated: “Our volunteer miners and colleagues played an active role in the aftermath of the February 6 earthquakes. Their firsthand experience in the disaster zone underscored the significant impact that trained teams can have in times of crisis. That’s why we are committed to strengthening our Çan2 Thermal Search and Rescue Team and continuing our training efforts. Once the AFAD accreditation process is complete, ODAŞ will become the third accredited organization in the region. We will persist in our training and preparedness efforts with unwavering dedication.”
