The Talent Incubator and the Department of Business Organization II are organizing a learning session on Personal, Professional, and Team Coaching led by Jorge Blanco.

Companies that implement coaching programs report significant improvements in performance, job satisfaction, and talent retention. A recent study by the International Coaching Association showed that 70% of individuals who received coaching experienced notable benefits in their work performance, relationships, and effective communication.

Therefore, on May 21st, the Talent Incubator of the University of Granada, in collaboration with the Department of Business Organization II, will carry out a special training session specifically aimed at learning about Coaching processes under the guidance of expert Jorge Blanco. “Coaching is not just a passing trend; it is an investment in human capital that yields measurable results,” states Jorge Blanco, a professional coach with more than two decades of experience. According to this expert: “Coaching has also proven to be beneficial in the personal sphere, helping individuals overcome obstacles, manage stress, and improve interpersonal relationships.”

The event will take place at the Faculty of Business, from 12:30 to 14:00 in classroom E26, and aims to provide students and members of the university community with practical tools and effective strategies to enhance their personal, professional, and teamwork skills.

Jorge Blanco, with a distinguished career in the field of coaching, will address this new training model that more and more companies are incorporating. The session will be practical and experiential, and all attendees will receive a certificate of attendance.

The Talent Incubator and the multinational Leroy Merlin organize a unique immersion experience in the processes of recruitment and personnel selection: Talent Day.

Next Friday, May 17th, the University of Granada and the multinational Leroy Merlin will join forces to organize an activity for students and recent graduates interested in learning and gaining experience in the professional processes of recruitment and selection of personnel.

During the “Talent Day”, which will take place in classroom E27 of the Faculty of Business from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM, participants will have the opportunity to dive into various activities designed to enhance their understanding of corporate recruitment and selection practices. This includes taking self-awareness tests used in real selection processes, learning new techniques for resume building, and participating in interviews and selection dynamics. Experts and executives from Leroy Merlin will share their knowledge and experiences, offering an invaluable internal perspective on key aspects of these processes and explaining how internal professional development programs are designed within organizations once the appropriate tests are passed.

Attendees of Talent Day will not only gain practical knowledge but will also receive a certificate of participation, adding a valuable complement to their own resumes. This event is an excellent opportunity for those looking to stand out in the competitive job market.

The Talent Incubator at the University of Granada thanks Leroy Merlin for their support in actively participating in this educational day, thus reinforcing their commitment to preparing students for professional success.

The twenty students of the Professional Skills Acceleration Program have delved into the fascinating world of Relational Intelligence thanks to the seminar titled “Relational Intelligence: How to Get Along.”

Olga Romero, a professional coach and founder of the Granada International Montessori School, shared with the participating students strategies and tools to enhance their interpersonal skills.

During the session, Olga addressed key topics such as empathy, effective communication, conflict resolution, and building solid relationships. Thus, the students acquired practical mechanisms to improve their ability to connect with others and develop positive interpersonal relationships both in the workplace and in their personal lives.

The event, held on May 6th at the Faculty of Business, is sponsored by the company “Alight Solutions,” an organization committed to the development and success of emerging professionals. Thanks to their support, the participating students have received an enriching and transformative experience by having the opportunity to immerse themselves in an interactive and dynamic learning space designed to foster their personal and professional growth.

The Talent Incubator collaborated with the Department of Business Organization II at the University of Granada to organize the seminar “Understanding Emotions Through Conversation.” This educational event was scheduled for May 16 at the Faculty of Labor Relations and Human Resources at the University of Granada.

The seminar aimed to provide participants with practical skills in conflict resolution, effective communication, and relational and emotional intelligence. Fran Parera, a renowned expert in team management and personal development, shared his expertise and knowledge to enhance the attendees’ understanding of these fundamental topics for success in both personal and professional realms.

The seminar was open to students from the entire university community who were interested in improving their interpersonal communication skills and learning constructive techniques for negotiation and conflict resolution.

Participants of the Professional Skills Acceleration Program support the Foundation Escuela de Solidaridad

The Talent Incubator at the University of Granada is witnessing a tremendous act of solidarity driven by this year’s participants of the Professional Skills Acceleration Program. In collaboration with the Foundation Escuela de Solidaridad, these talented young individuals are making a tangible difference in the community.

The Foundation Escuela de Solidaridad, with over 25 years of experience, has been a refuge for those without homes. At its facilities in Sierra Elvira, over 150 people find a safe and welcoming place to live. However, the Foundation faces enormous logistical challenges, and this is where the solidarity and initiative of these young men and women come into play.

The goal is clear: to raise funds to purchase a new van to facilitate the logistical and transportation tasks of the Foundation. To achieve this goal, they have organized a solidarity raffle with 8 different prizes thanks to the collaboration of various local businesses: Tiendas Ambar, Terramarket Granada, MostazaGreen Burger, El taller de Nicoleta, Las chicas de la estación, librería Papel y Tinta, Formula Karting, and of course, the Foundation Escuela de Solidaridad.

Each participation in the raffle has a value of €2 and can be paid via Bizum, indicating in the concept “RIFA FES”, to any of the following numbers:

Georgiana: 697 61 43 90

Raquel: 645 70 64 20

Álvaro: 691 58 37 43

Carmen: 695 05 89 61

Violeta: 671 22 46 54

Laura: 629 24 23 00

Ana: 633 08 83 10

In case one number does not work, participants are asked to try the next one. It will be ensured that the data of each person who makes a Bizum payment are saved to notify the winners. BIZUMS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL MAY 20 AT 8:00 AM.

The draw is scheduled for May 20 and will be broadcast live through the Incubator’s Instagram profile. Everyone’s support is crucial to make this important project a reality, so we encourage you to collaborate.
