We are pleased to inform you about the Luncheon: “Opportunities and Challenges in future of Higher Education” with our corporate member, IE University.
Keeping updating the skill set is essential for career development in an era of unpredictability, fast-paced changes, and quick technological advances but these also represent a challenge from the educational institutions’ side.
Andrea Longaretti, Global Head of Recruitment & Admissions, and Board of Directors at the Spanish education company IE will speak with SpCCJ’s Director David Yeregui and answer all your questions about the opportunities and challenges of higher education, what it holds in the future and how it reshapes talent development.
Join us for this lunch dialogue held at the fancy Kimpton Shinjuku inspired by New York’s art and fashion scene, where you will listen to the inspiring talk from Andrea with the spectacular view from the 17th floor and meet new inspiring people.
IE is one of the leading European higher education institutions, whose belief in innovation, diversity and entrepreneurship is an integral part of its drive towards academic excellence. IE’s learning model puts students at the centre, is eminently practical and ensures that they acquire not only the technical know-how but also the mindset and interpersonal skills.
