Future Skills@ALK – Development of Administrative and Managerial Staff
Future Skills@ALK – Development of Administrative and Managerial Staff
The project is financed under the European Funds for Social Development 2021–2027 programme, co-financed by the European Social Fund Plus.
Project Objective:
The goal of the project is to strengthen the administrative capacity of Kozminski University through the development and implementation of sustainable, integrated, and systemic solutions for improving the competencies of managerial and administrative staff in the areas of MANAGEMENT, DIGITALIZATION, and GREEN TRANSFORMATION.
The project consists of three complementary tasks:
A modular competency development program for ALK leaders (webinars, platform, 360° assessment, Individual Development Plans), serving as a foundation for further support, knowledge exchange, and integration of leaders around ALK’s values and development directions. Webinars, as an optional introduction to workshop topics, will provide theoretical frameworks (prework, Q&A) and help align participants’ knowledge. Support formats will cover, among others: green transformation, AI for managers, change management, and building staff engagement, forming an essential background for specialized activities.
Tailoring development support to the roles and tasks of specific managerial groups through:
- GROUP PATHS – webinars, on-site workshops, and intensive off-site training adapted to responsibilities and management level;
- INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT – executive coaching, individual external training, staff mobility at foreign universities.
By combining group and individual formats, participants will develop managerial, digital, and green competencies, as well as specialist skills relevant to their organizational roles.
activities tailored to organizational functions and specialized tasks (workshops, mobility, language training, Individual Development Plans) based on:
GROUP PATHS – webinars and workshops on topics such as:
- digital skills and use of AI tools in administrative work;
