Borusan Holding achieved a double success at the Youth Awards 2026, which are determined by the direct preferences of over 200,000 university students. The Group won the Gold Award in the "Most Desired Holding Company to Work For" category, and also received an Achievement Award for its "Alpha Young Talent Program" in the "Most Admired Recruitment Program" category.
 

Borusan Holding returned with two grand awards from Youth Awards 2026, Turkey's largest youth voting. In the organization that determines the employer preferences of young people, Borusan came to the top by winning the Gold Award in the "Most Wanted Holding to Work For" category. At the same time, it was deemed worthy of the Achievement Award in the field of "Most Admired Recruitment Program" for its Alpha Young Talent Program, which offers a comprehensive career start to young professionals.
 

Nursel Ölmez Ateş, Borusan Holding People, Communication and Sustainability Group Leader, said: "As a Group aiming for 200 years and beyond, we trust the potential of young people. Our priority is to create a transparent platform where every colleague who steps through the door can make their voice heard and defend their ideas freely. While nurturing trust-based relationships with our BorusanX culture, we create a working environment that strengthens open communication, common sense and cooperation. While we raise them as leaders of the future with our Young Talent Development Programs under the roof of Borusan Academy, “With our development programs such as the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence and the Faculty of Sustainability, we equip ourselves with the competencies required by the changing business world. This strong preference from university students all over Turkey is proof that we read the expectations of young people correctly and believe in the sincerity of the working climate we have built together.”
 

Borusan ranks first among 165 companies
 

The Youth Awards are organized by Youthall, a career platform for young people, and are considered one of the prestigious benchmarks in the field of employer branding.
 

The process in which Borusan Holding received a double award was completed entirely with the votes cast directly by university students, without any jury evaluation. A total of 201 thousand 740 young people from 227 universities and 173 different departments across Türkiye participated in the voting, in which 165 companies competed in 32 categories.
 

A talent journey at Borusan: from internship to a full-time career


Borusan Holding supports youth employment and qualified workforce in Turkey with its development-oriented ecosystem and inclusive working models. In this context, it carries out end-to-end designed career and development programs in order to maximize the potential of young talents.
 

Borusan Holding has been continuing the Alpha Young Talent Program, which was awarded the international award by "The Peer Awards for Excellence", since 1991.
 

The program is positioned as a continuation of the Borusan Alpha Internship Program, which covers university 3rd and 4th year and graduate students. This holistic structure, which allows young talents who have successfully completed the internship period to transition to full-time staff after graduation, enables Borusan to train the leaders of the future within its own structure. While the retention rate of young talents at Borusan reached a high level of 96%, this rate was 100% for female Alpha talents.
