Each edition of the Academy of Competences is about ideas for small improvements. This time we are testing the concept of thematic weeks:
Personal development (24-28 March)
The event will open a week of workshops and webinars aimed at supporting resources and individual potential.
Among them: stress management techniques, personal effectiveness and time management, the Growth Mindset approach, LinkedIn, creating engaging presentations, self-presentation and public speaking, planning using personal forecasting methods and working on balance in the digital and real world.
Tools (31 March – 4 April)
The second week consists of proposals presenting useful tools, software and work methods in a practical way.
This set includes: Canva – in a package with recruiter tips and a chance to polish your CV, data analysis with Power BI and Excel (at two levels of advancement), use of Microsoft Azure and AI, online content verification tools, business process modelling with BPMN and selected tools for creating games and applications.
Business skills and the job market (7 – 11 April)
The Academy of Competences 2025 will conclude with a week of classes covering key industry competencies and navigating the labour market.
The package includes: a business simulation that will take teams to a gold mine, trends on the labour market, support in finding your professional path, competences of the future developed by Design Thinking, labour law in recruitment, workshops on budgeting and raising funds for your idea and – as the finale of this year's edition – the basics of Polish sign language and an introduction to DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).
