The TAO Expert program has reached its halfway mark with great success, showcasing daily progress and a high level of commitment from participants.

In the first half of the course, students have delved into essential topics, including the structure and organization of the State and local public administrations, as well as tax management and relevant municipal and regional regulations. They have also explored the use of digital tools in electronic administration and worked on practical cases to reinforce their newly acquired knowledge. These topics have been taught by experts with extensive hands-on experience in digital management.

Additionally, over the past few weeks, participants have intensely focused on soft skills through engaging workshops aimed at developing competencies like communication, teamwork, responsibility, empathy, and intentionality. All activities have been designed with experiential and gamified dynamics.

This seminar not only fostered valuable learning but also inspired students to lead with confidence and adaptability in the multicultural settings that define both the current and future business landscape.

The Student Delegation of the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences successfully hosted the latest edition of its Professional Day on October 16. The event saw the participation of the Talent Incubator, which set up an information booth to provide details on the current professional development programs, sponsoring companies, and the benefits of joining the TalentiaPoint community.
