Business provides opportunities...

Suitable for Business believes that students of the humanities and social sciences are in possession of valuable skills that can greatly contribute to any business environment. We believe that diversity is an advantage and that the more varied the input the more enriched the output.

Through our annual case competition we showcase the abilities of humanities and social sciences students as they solve a business case in order to illustrate the relevance of their unique competences. This is a chance for you to experience the skills and competences of humanities and social science students first-hand and to see what they have to offer!

The second day of the Suitable for Business conference 2012 was opened by an informative presentation by Francesco Avvisati of the OECD entitled “Who Will Be Suitable For Business?”. Through his work as an analyst at CERI, Centre for Educational Research and Development at the OECD, he is part of the pioneering research group, looking into emerging trends and how universities should act consequently.

 

Innovation has been identified a the special ingredient which makes individuals successful and allows them to create value for the future. The unifying principle of the innovation strategy as applied by the OECD is the empowering of people to innovate. The two trends identified in the labour market are globalisation and technology.
