Summary
Entrepreneurship plays an active role in ensuring social welfare and creating a qualified lifestyle. It is a fact that societies giving importance to entrepreneurship have higher income levels and exhibit pioneering attitudes in technological, medical, military, academic, social and cultural fields. Meeting the unmet need, offering new products and services to individuals, and improving living conditions accordingly might be counted among the positive outcomes of entrepreneurship. The importance of entrepreneurship in Turkey has increased gradually in recent years and activities for the development of entrepreneurship perception have accelerated. With the efforts of public institutions, non-governmental organizations and the private sector, it has become an imperative that the perception of entrepreneurship takes place in the minds of individuals. Including entrepreneurship in all formal education and training processes, increasing entrepreneurship grants and supports, and free services provided to entrepreneur candidates are indicators of this situation. Also, The Union of Chambers Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB), playing a key role in this process, supports the entrepreneur candidates with its own councils within two themes such as woman and young entrepreneurship councils. The aim of the research is to determine the entrepreneurial characteristics of the research participants. Accordingly, data were obtained from the Executive Committee Members of TOBB Young Entrepreneurs Councils operating in the Central Anatolia Region. The research universe is directly related to entrepreneurship processes. Pioneering activities for the perception of entrepreneurship strengthen the consistency of the data being obtained from the participants. In the research, the phenomenological point of view being one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred and the data were obtained from the participants with the help of open-ended questions and one-to-one interviews. Including the experiences and personal opinions of the participants in the research based on qualitative data will enable a better understanding of entrepreneurship. Therefore, in addition to the comprehensive socio-demographic features, it is thought that in this research, where the participants' opinions and experiences are examined instead of quantitative data, the findings that will contribute to the literature in the context of entrepreneurship will be reached and inferences that will guide the entrepreneur candidates.

Abstract
Entrepreneurship plays an active role in ensuring social welfare and creating a qualified lifestyle. It is a fact that societies giving importance to entrepreneurship have higher income levels and exhibit pioneering attitudes in technological, medical, military, academic, social and cultural fields. Meeting the unmet need, offering new products and services to individuals, and improving living conditions accordingly might be counted among the positive outcomes of entrepreneurship. The importance of entrepreneurship in Turkey has increased gradually in recent years and activities for the development of entrepreneurship perception have accelerated. With the efforts of public institutions, non-governmental organizations and the private sector, it has become an imperative that the perception of entrepreneurship takes place in the minds of individuals. Including entrepreneurship in all formal education and training processes, increasing entrepreneurship grants and supports, and free services provided to entrepreneur candidates are indicators of this situation. Also, The Union of Chambers Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB), playing a key role in this process, supports the entrepreneur candidates with its own councils within two themes such as woman and young entrepreneurship councils. The aim of the research is to determine the entrepreneurial characteristics of the research participants. Accordingly, data were obtained from the Executive Committee Members of TOBB Young Entrepreneurs Councils operating in the Central Anatolia Region. The research universe is directly related to entrepreneurship processes. Pioneering activities for the perception of entrepreneurship strengthen the consistency of the data being obtained from the participants. In the research, the phenomenological point of view being one of the qualitative research methods, was preferred and the data were obtained from the participants with the help of open-ended questions and one-to-one interviews. Including the experiences and personal opinions of the participants in the research based on qualitative data will enable a better understanding of entrepreneurship. Therefore, in addition to the comprehensive socio-demographic features, it is thought that in this research, where the participants' opinions and experiences are examined instead of quantitative data, the findings that will contribute to the literature in the context of entrepreneurship will be reached and inferences that will guide the entrepreneur candidates.
