SEMINARY ON CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND ADAPTING TO CHANGING TIMES

 1024 672 Incubadora de Talento

New seminary of the Poli-lingua Programme for highly linguistic learners focuses on the vital issue of change management.

Everything is changing all the time. Economic, social and technological changes are happening every day at a speed unimaginable a few years ago. These changes will significantly affect the jobs and the qualifications and skills expected of workers in the future. The new economy is demanding new professions and skills to develop in a working environment of constant transitions, disruptions and changes in strategy.

The new, increasingly digital economy requires learners to develop new types of skills that enable them to thrive in an increasingly automated and information-intensive environment. The workers of the future, in addition to the knowledge needed to handle technology, will require other skills that are more diffuse and difficult to identify.

For all these reasons, the Talent Incubator organised this seminar for reflection and analysis on the skills that students need to develop in order to adapt, in an agile and flexible way, to the digital economy. The seminar, sponsored by the multinational Alight, took place on 20 January at the Faculty of Business Studies and was given by Gema Campos, executive and team coach and specialist in human resources management.

The new edition of the Poli-lingua Programme to promote Linguistic Talent in our University has started.

The Programme was inaugurated on Friday 13 January in the Salón de Grados of the Faculty of Philosophy and Arts with the presence of Simon Suárez Cuadros, Vice-Dean of International Relations of the Faculty, Heidi Bassa, Senior Operations Manager Nordics of Alight Solutions and Lola Vidal, Co-Director of the Talent Incubator.

After the inauguration, the first workshop of the Personal Development Programme took place under the title “Wake up: it’s your attitude that counts”. With this workshop, the 12 participants of the programme begin to work on personal development and leadership, creating an opportunity for learning, growth and self-improvement through self-knowledge. The aim of this activity is to offer useful tools to the participants to enhance their capabilities and develop their potential, acquiring and developing their own leadership model that allows them to make conscious decisions, to know their strengths and what they want to achieve in their professional careers and in their personal lives.

The workshop is part of the activities that the Talent Incubator develops through the sponsorship of the company Alight Solutions to support young university students with high potential.
