Getting Practical:  Learning from Senior Professionals 

As AI continues to replace many tasks, society and companies are still led by humans. But humans are not merely resources—their value lies in their competitiveness. No person is perfect in every field. Even popular tools like the MBTI show how individuals, when placed in the right position, can be highly effective resources. 

This applies to every aspect of life— families, school projects, sports teams, the military, hospitals, companies, accounting firms, tax offices, factories, NGOs, government, the judiciary, the National Assembly, the executive branch, and even RPG game characters. So, what should students, who are preparing to become such resources be focusing on? What qualities are organizations looking for? What makes someone a sought-after resource expert? 

Join us for this mentoring event to gain insights into these questions and learn how to become the target of headhunters!
