Beyond the master's degree: how to close the gap between employment and employability

Just as a few decades ago, studying a university degree was the need for an entire generation, in recent years, continuous and practical training has become the key to access and stay in the world of work.

Training, preparing and specializing in certain knowledge and skills can help you get the job of your dreams, but the reality is that in a hyper-competitive landscape it does not guarantee it 100%.

So if “mastery” is not by itself the key to employability, what is? The key is to open the sight of short-termism and observe the panorama of your professional career as a whole.

With the aim of closing the gap between employment and employability, EAE Business School Barcelona has a Professional Impact Unit, a specialized team dedicated to and exclusively serving the professional development of students. The unit offers support and specialized training according to the area, sector and professional profile, seeking a professional impact that is sustainable in the long term.

"With the Professional Impact Unit we're not just helping students and businesses achieve their immediate goals, we're creating an impact that will last a lifetime. Our work has the power to change people's careers, transform company culture and impact the world. Every day, we wake up full of energy knowing that our efforts are making a real difference", explains Anna Boixader Prat, Director Talent for Impact Center EAE Barcelona.

The Professional Impact Unit network does not stop at EAE Business School Barcelona, ​​its relationship with other companies and external collaborators is essential for the continued support of its students.

"EAE Business School Barcelona is highly committed to the employability of its students and alumni. They are always attentive to new needs, market changes and creating new innovative projects so that, in addition to achieving excellence in training, their students can achieve their objectives successful professionals", says Marta de Llauder, CEO Talent Point HRConsulting and founder of JOBarcelona/ JOBMadrid/ JOBinplanet.com.

"My experience in the entrepreneurship program with the Professional Impact Unit has been transformative, a true catalyst in my personal and professional path where I have had the opportunity to share a unique and enriching vision with outstanding mentors and colleagues", confesses Tania Escobedo, Jalife - Marketing Manager Master Digital Marketing

Tania Escobedo, a student at EAE Business School Barcelona, ​​is one of the professionals who has been able to count on the Professional Impact Unit's resources and tools to boost the growth and success of her project because, as she says, "not only did I gave me the necessary tools, but also inspired me to be bold, to dream big, and to pursue my goals with determination. It has been an extraordinary journey that has left a lasting mark on my life, opening up new perspectives and opportunities that previously seemed unattainable. I am deeply grateful for this experience and excited for what the future holds for me,” she adds.

Now that the key to employability is no longer a secret, it's time to take a step forward to achieve your professional goals.
