Successful termination of the Skillathon event as part of the Talentia Skills programme
2020/07/13
- 240 young university students have participated in the development of the employer branding strategy of four Basque companies
The university students in the second and third years of the Talentia Skills programme, whose aim is to help them to develop the transversal skills which the labour market demands, participated throughout the month of June in an online dynamic in which they identified key factors and designed a proposal for four Basque companies (ULMA Packaging, Leartiker, Grupo Sarralle and Kurago Software) with the aim of making these companies attractive to the Z Generation.
This pioneering online dynamic was divided up into sessions of two hours in which 240 youngsters from Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa took part, split up into 50 groups. During the sessions, and after analysing the situation and thinking up their ideas, each of the participating groups presented their proposed solution prototype to the problems facing today’s companies with respect to attracting the post-millennial generation.
