Turkish term or phrase: Olgunlaşma
I am translating a certificate/diploma from a vocational training institute in Beyoğlu/Istanbul. The word "olgunlaşma" appears in the name of the school: Beyoğlu Refia Övüç Kız Teknik Öğretim Olgunlaşma Enstitüsü. Does anyone know how "Olgunlaşma" should be translated within the context of the name of this school?

Explanation:
I am sorry but the translation 'finishing school' is totally wrong. Since I worked at this kind of school I know exactly what it meaans and if you simply look up the word in the Redhouse dictionary you could find it.
