In an intense meeting between emerging talent and the business sector, the twenty young people from the Competency Acceleration Program had the opportunity to visit the headquarters of Alight Solutions in Granada on February 23, in a day significant for both the students and the company.
Welcomed by executives and managers from various areas, the young talents were guided on a tour through the company’s facilities, where they had the opportunity to see and experience firsthand the organizational culture, dynamism, and innovation that characterize the work environment at Alight, as well as the design of the company’s workspace.
During the visit, participants also attended a series of professional presentations that provided a detailed view of different departments that are currently growing within the company. Through these interactions, the youths obtained valuable information on the internal workings of a leading company in its sector, as well as the skills required to succeed in today’s professional environment.
Alight’s executives highlighted the importance of establishing such links between the academic world and the business sector. “This meeting not only allows these talented young people to glimpse the possible career paths available within a company like ours, but it also gives us the opportunity to be inspired by their fresh ideas and innovative perspectives,” commented Javier Toni, VP of Application Services at Alight.
Reflecting on the experience, one of the young participants, Victor Puerta, shared: “Visiting Alight has been very enriching as it has allowed us not only to learn how the different areas of a cutting-edge company operate, but we have also seen how talent is valued and promoted here.”
This meeting has once again reinforced the company’s commitment to the development of young talent from the University of Granada and its involvement in programs that foster the potential of young students.
