ABOUT
Today, societies, governments and businesses recognize the pressing need to build comprehensive talent management and development programs more than ever before. There is no denying that the business industry is constantly on the rise. Hence, the need for more resilient institutions with an innovative workforce that can adapt to the rapid changes with new skill sets.
Make valuable contributions right from the start. The key challenge for growing industry talent is to develop it in a continuous path: a complete life cycle from all levels of education to employment, based on accelerating changes, market needs and future jobs.
It is, therefore, necessary to design a program that develops national talent by building a successful and sustainable path. Which in turn contributes to the labor market with high-level skills taking into account the future requirements.
