Young Professionals Study Trip to Brussels
Wed 08/10/2008 11:00 to Thu 09/10/2008 16:00
European Young Professionals learn from interaction with peers in Brussels
Networking and exchanging experiences in connecting young professionals in their countries proved the driving force for the participants from 7 countries in the Brussels study trip on 8-9 October 2008.
Highly motivated young professionals attended a two-day seminar in Brussels to learn about young professionals’ groupings and activities in other countries, the European professional federation and the European policies that matter to the business and the industry.
The visit to the European Parliament plenary was the highlight of the ‘Europe’ session. The Young professionals were impressed to see the reality of the political discourse on the EU agenda.
A revealing session on inter-generational learning and the interactive session on the diversity of working practices in the represented countries sparked lively debates on challenges facing the young professionals in their personal career development, and for preparing the next generation of leaders in companies.
Concrete opportunities for better and renewed cooperation between younger and older staff were presented as a valuable means to ensuring corporate continuity and growth.
The Brussels visit offered a most effective platform to the Young Professionals to further build up their professional contacts and the chance to connect better at both national and European level.
