- The new online event will bring together professionals from sectors such as healthcare, education, business, engineering and architecture to share their experience, analyse developments in their sectors and offer useful insights to support students’ career development.
EDUCA EDTECH Group launches EDUCA Faculty Life, a new online event that will enable students to meet the professionals involved in their education, learn about their career paths, their views on the sector, and the experiences that have shaped their academic and professional development.
The initiative will feature teachers and specialists from various fields of expertise who will explain what led them to pursue a career in teaching, how they apply their professional experience in the classroom, and what skills they consider essential for success in the labour market.
The event is one of a number of initiatives launched by the EDUCA EDTECH Group to support employability and improve the professional development of its students, such as EDUCA Talent Day o EDUCA CV Check Week.
Practising professionals addressing students’ concerns
EDUCA Faculty Life brings together lecturers from fields such as Business, Education, Health, IT, Science and Engineering, Art and Architecture, and Jobs & Professions to share not only their professional careers, but also what is rarely covered in a syllabus: what led them to pursue a career in teaching, how they view online learning, which skills they consider essential for entering the labour market, and the lessons they have learnt throughout their careers.
The aim is for students to find out what happens outside the campus, what skills are valued in recruitment processes, how each profession is evolving, and what decisions have proved decisive in their lecturers’ careers.
“This event enables students to get to know the people who support them throughout their studies better and to understand how their professional experience is brought into the classroom,” explain representatives from EDUCA EDTECH Group.
Seven professional fields represented
The discussions will go beyond the academic sphere to reveal a more human side to the teachers.
Among the participating professionals are Marina Rivas Bastante, a specialist in law and business management; Paula Jiménez Escribano, who specialises in education and neuroeducation; Antonio González Fuentes, an expert in physical education and sporting activity; Juan Luis Ortega Rodríguez, a specialist in physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise; and Marianela Segura Flores, an expert in pharmacy and pharmaceutical care.
Other professionals with extensive experience, such as Rogelio Delgado Mingorance, María Jesús Aldariz Rey and Emilio Romero Jiménez.
The variety of profiles will enable us to address the issue of access to employment from the perspective of different professional contexts and provide a practical insight into the skills, challenges and opportunities within each sector.
