The best students of the University of Granada begin a year-long, specialized Leadership Program to develop their potential and leadership skills.
The University of Granada held yesterday, November 25th, the official inauguration of the Professional Competency Acceleration Program (CAP), one of the flagship initiatives of the Talent Incubator aimed at developing university potential. The event took place at the Royal Hospital and was attended by institutional representatives, executives from Strada Global —the program’s sponsoring company—, mentors, faculty members, and the newly selected students for this edition.
Several prominent speakers took part in the event. Pilar Guillén, from Strada Global, emphasized how mentoring and professional opportunities will accompany the students throughout the CAP, offering a real bridge into the business world. Francisco Quesada, also from Strada Global, conveyed the company’s vision and its strong commitment to young talent, stressing that supporting future leaders is an investment with a direct impact on society.
From the Talent Incubator, Prof. Dr. J. Alberto Aragón-Correa, Co-Director of the Incubator, highlighted the goals that have driven the Program since its creation: promoting conscious leadership and complementing the academic excellence of high-potential students.
One of the most emotional moments of the event came from Maitena Lois, a participant from the previous edition, who shared her personal experience and how the CAP enabled her to discover new abilities, build self-confidence, and take a decisive step toward her professional future.
In an especially competitive edition, the CAP begins with 20 students selected from among the best academic records at the University of Granada. They come from a wide variety of degrees, including Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Business Administration, Marketing, Law, Labor Relations, Translation, Pharmacy, Sociology, and several master’s programs.
The CAP is enriched by a strong team of mentors from multinational companies, including José Carlos Díaz, Julio del Río Ferriz, Sascha F. Schneider, Manuel Vargas, Eva Martín, and Pascal Jéhanno, who will accompany the students throughout the program, bringing them closer to the real challenges of the corporate environment.
With this new edition, the University of Granada reaffirms its commitment to academic excellence and the promotion of young talent, consolidating the CAP as one of the leading programs in leadership, educational innovation, and employability.
