First meeting of the University-Company Forum to encourage employment

This project is boosted by the Public University Social Councils of Castile and Leon.

The “University-Company Forum” took place last month in December, with the initiative of the Social Councils from the four public universities of Castile and Leon, with the support of the Junta. The activities fostered by the Group of Experts began this Monday. This way, I could meet with the rest of the colleagues from the Social Council of the University of Valladolid, with the aim of fostering employability of graduates in Humanities and Social Science, due to such a low employment rate of these students on the labor market. Once we analyzed the current situation and its evolution, keeping in mind the structure of business in Castile and Leon, we offered employment recommendations, both to public administrations as well as businesses. It is also necessary to provide professional guidance of these students towards entrepreneurship.
