Istanbul, Oct 20, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) --
Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today designated its training center as an official location of Alcatel-Lucent University, one of 20 independently accredited learning centers around the globe.
With the mission of making learning a competitive advantage, Alcatel-Lucent University enables customers, partners and employees to achieve their strategic business objectives. Alcatel-Lucent University's mission is to create a culture of innovation, providing learning interventions to initiate, drive and support change necessary for competing in today's evolving markets.
Initially opened in 1986 as a satellite training facility, with this announcement the Turkish location has transitioned to a fully accredited global learning center within Alcatel-Lucent University. 'Following an aggressive one-year development plan, this new Alcatel-Lucent University training center has succeeded in becoming a recognized and contributing member of our Corporate University. The team has done an excellent job and is prepared to deliver customer and employee learning focused on enhancing proficiency and performance,' said Audrey White, head of Alcatel-Lucent University.
As the second Alcatel-Lucent University to achieve accreditation in the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States), Central and Southern European region, Alcatel-Lucent University-Istanbul relocated in August to its new and modern facility. The learning center provides training on a wide variety of products and solutions supporting end-user services: voice, data and video transmission services over fixed or mobile platforms. This access to training and expertise will benefit major Alcatel-Lucent customers in the region such as Turk Telekom group. Students at the Alcate-Lucent University-Istanbul center will better understand and maximize the functionality of Alcatel-Lucent products, solutions and services through consultative, innovative and cost-effective learning solutions.
In addition to the customer benefit, the knowledge center is also an asset to Alcatel-Lucent employees by enabling them to enhance productivity and achieve their professional development objectives with multimedia learning solutions in the areas of leadership, functional, technical and product training.
Locally, Alcatel-Lucent has aligned with leading local educational institutions, including Sabanci University, Istanbul Technical University, Bahcesehir University and Istanbul University to broaden employee professional development and skills development.
'Leveraging the benefits of local resources, trainers at the Istanbul center have the necessary expertise to satisfy customer needs,' said Pinar Temizkan, HR Director of Alcatel-Lucent in Turkey. 'Both customers and employees also gain from the global reach of Alcatel-Lucent since our accredited learning center benefits from being part of the full Alcatel-Lucent University network.'
