The Chair of Family Business together with the UVEMPLEO service start the third edition of the course of Employability and Professional Development in Family Business in online format. This course will start on 30 March 2022 and will be taught by professors from the University of Valencia and external collaborators-professionals, in order to improve the employability of students in Family Businesses.
Family businesses (FB) represent a very high percentage of the economic activity and use of developed societies. According to the latest report on Family Business, edited by the Family Business Institute (2015), family businesses account for 66% of employment in Spain, and generate 57% of wealth (Gross Value Added). Therefore, it is more likely for university graduates that their professional development will take place within the framework of family-owned and managed companies, and hence the interest of knowing them in depth.
OBJECTIVES
The general objectives to be achieved are as follows:
- To know what and how are the FB, the different agents involved in it, its importance in the economy and occupation of the country and its strengths and weaknesses.
- To understand the profile of the culture of the FB and to know how to fit into the labour market in order to contribute value to it and to be able to develop professionally.
- Acquire the ability to improve employability in order to effectively manage one's career.
- Generate opportunities for success in achieving employment in a FB.
- Enhance personal talent with expert advice to create value as a worker in the family business.
- Develop innovation through positive conflict management in the FB.
