Instead of motto:
From booking
to … HIRING !
-this is how we connect our graduates to the labor market
Argument
How prepared are we, both at systemic level, as well as each of us, in view of responding to the expectations and challenges we are facing today? There is not enough needed inter-connection between the level of academic education, from the point of view of the labor market, and the real reasons that influence graduates to choose more and more new professional and life routes.
Still not enough number of European universities are qualified to adapt to the current social-economic needs and challanges. There is enough space to encourage the inter-disciplinary and pro-entrepreneurial approach, the diversification of education providers or the development of critical thinking and the strengthening of emotional intelligence as future competences.

Why is the epidemic crisis “COVID-19” not only exercing a strong health pressure, but it can also represent a great opportunity for professional reconversion and economic recovery?

The stand-by status of many economic sectors, as well as the delays of important development projects, gives the opportunity to use this phase of relative disorientation and stagnation in order to grant a real ocasion to using the new e-learning methods (online) and familiarisation of new professional fields with remote working style.
