EDUCA EDTECH Group has participated in the constitution of the UGR Advisory Council of Companies and Institutions, a collaborative space promoted and coordinated by the Vice-Rectorate for Social Innovation, Employability and Entrepreneurship of the University of Granada.
The session, held on 30 April, brought together representatives of public institutions, business organisations, companies and entities from different sectors with a common objective: to strengthen the link between the University of Granada and the socio-economic fabric of its surroundings.
EDUCA EDTECH Group was represented by Viridiana Lopez, Group HR Manager, whose participation is directly linked to one of the strategic lines of the Council: to analyse the real needs of the labour market, identify the most in-demand professional profiles and contribute to improving the employability of university students.
A space for listening between university and business
The UGR Advisory Board of Companies and Institutions was created as a permanent instrument for collaboration, active listening and shared foresight. Its aim is to consolidate a stable space for dialogue between the University of Granada and its strategic partners in the business and institutional world.
Among its objectives are the diagnosis of the labour market, the definition of graduate profiles and competences, the improvement of training programmes, the strengthening of the internship offer and the identification of good practices in professional insertion and talent management.
In addition, the Council seeks to open up new opportunities in applied research, knowledge transfer, innovation and territorial impact, connecting the academic and research capacities of the University with the real needs of companies, institutions and society.

From its experience as a technological ecosystem specialised in online training, the group works to bring learning closer to the needs of the labour market and to accompany students, professionals and organisations in a context of constant transformation.
“Being part of the UGR Advisory Council of Companies and Institutions is an opportunity to sit at the same table with institutions, companies and entities of the territory and address some of the great challenges we share: employability, training, artificial intelligence and knowledge transfer.
