Founder – Muharrem Ersoy

The story of Muharrem Ersoy stands for growth, perseverance, and new opportunities.

Born in 1971 in Adapazarı, Turkey, he came to Germany as a child and grew up under challenging circumstances. His professional journey began without a school diploma and initially led him into the hospitality industry, where he progressed through all career levels over many years.

Through continuous personal and professional development, he eventually qualified as a business professional and successfully completed his degree in Business Administration (VWA) in 2013.

Today, Muharrem Ersoy works as a trainer, job coach, lecturer, and integration coach.

His own life story continues to shape his work today:
supporting people individually, recognizing potential, and creating real opportunities.

Alongside his professional work, he has also been socially and voluntarily engaged in community activities for many years.

A strong and experienced team

The Coaching Team Ersoy consists of qualified and experienced coaches who continuously further their education and apply their methods in a practical way.

Many of our team members have a migration background themselves and know the related challenges from personal experience. This allows us to better understand different life situations and provide targeted support.

We work in a solution-oriented, individual, and empathetic way. Confidentiality and respectful interaction are our highest priorities.

Sustainability at CTE

For us, sustainability means using resources responsibly and thinking long-term — ecologically, economically, and socially.

In our daily work, we consciously focus on the careful use of materials. Paper consumption is reduced, materials are reused, and — wherever possible — replaced by digital solutions. We also choose environmentally friendly office equipment made from recycled materials.

One of our key partners is AfB gemeinnützige GmbH (“Work for People with Disabilities”).
AfB professionally refurbishes used IT equipment, securely deletes data with certified processes, and recycles devices that can no longer be used. At the same time, they create jobs for people with and without disabilities — an approach we actively support.

Internally, we continuously work on optimizing processes and implementing digital solutions to conserve resources and improve efficiency.

Our mission statement

CTE stands for needs-based and customer-oriented services with a clear commitment to quality and sustainability.
