Technology and Personalization: SDA Bocconi Training for Career Development

, by Fabio Todesco
With the Executive Career Development offer, Bocconi's business school tailors the training path to the needs and agenda of each individual manager, right up to one on one tutoring

The use of technology and personalization are the trends that are changing managerial training all over the world. With the Executive Career Development offer, SDA Bocconi School of Management is at the forefront of this evolutionary process. It proposes a path organized in short and flexible modules, both in person and distance learning, compatible with the most demanding schedules and made to measure for the individual needs of all managers who wants to retake the reins of their career.

The offer is divided into four paths, which help managers to strategically plan their career development based on a correct and conscious self-assessment. They identify opportunities that are compatible with their profile, orient themselves in the visible and submerged job market and improve their employability by investing on the skills that are truly important.

The first path, Career Management, starts with a check-up module that includes, in addition to a self-assessment and a CV tutorial, two sessions of one-to-one exchange with a career advisor. This leads up to the preparation of a CV that takes account of how recruiters work and adapt to different career roles and objectives. The next two modules aim to define a growth strategy and optimize the process of finding the best job opportunities.

The Leadership Coaching path is, by definition, 100% customized. In fact, coaching is an individual development process that helps to achieve its professional and organizational goals by activating a partnership with a coach and leveraging the manager's daily experience. The various levels of seniority correspond to different diagnostic tools and coaching styles.

The third path, Soft Skills Training, aims to develop public speaking, decision-making and salary negotiation skills, to put the manager in a position to generate a positive impact on all his interlocutors.

The last path, Training 1: 1 on Management Skills, allows you to activate personal training sessions on all topics in the SDA Bocconi educational offer. It is perfect for those who want a totally customized training path, or must acquire specific skills in a short time or has well-defined learning objectives and wants intensive support from a professor of reference.

«Thanks to the components of the Executive Career Development course, SDA Bocconi's offer is increasingly configured as a platform like Netflix», states Gabriele Troilo, Associate Dean of the SDA Bocconi Open Market and New Business Division. «It is, in fact, easily navigable and can be used on an individual basis with flexible methods».
