Meetings of the Human Resource Management Course

With the theme: “People Management: Universities and Companies”, the event aimed to introduce students to people management, seen by specialists with varied skills in the era of digitalization, globalization, and change. Bearing in mind, above all, the need to strengthen communication skills, develop networking and the ability to organize students.

On April 19, the Agostinho da Silva Auditorium received names such as Vanessa Oliveira, Pedro Amorim and Félix Esménio, among others, to discuss with students topics such as: “Gender balance in universities and companies”, “ The role of companies in the formation of human capital” and “The impact of universities on workers' careers”.

In addition, those present had the opportunity to think about “The role of artificial intelligence in the university-company relationship”, “Work mediated by platforms” and “Digital transformation in attraction, recruitment, and retention processes”, topics current and relevant for anyone who wants to relate the benefits brought by technology to assist in processes developed for the job market, especially in the area of human resource management.

“New ways of working and the balance between personal and professional life” and “Management of people in crisis situations” were also themes of this event held at Lusófona University - Lisbon University Center, which drew the attention of those who there were present.

For Pedro Amorim “work is important, but it is just part of our day, of our life”, so after talking about the main differences between Generation Z and Millennials, he advised: “Always continue to study, because that's what will make you competitive in the job market, always try to study from what your weaknesses are and try to mitigate those weaknesses with areas that make you stronger”.
