Organized within the context of the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) initiative, in collaboration with the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission and with the generous support of the Romanian Ministry of Education, the conference entitled ”Lifelong Learning in Action: The university, employers, trainers and the community working together” aims to highlight the importance placed on continuous learning and re-training throughout the working lives of graduates and adult learners in Romania and the vital joint role that universities, colleges and employers must play in developing and supporting opportunities for continuous professional development (CPD) in the country.

Bringing together students, graduates, experts and community employers, the conference will provide practical advice on how to implement lifelong learning strategies at the individual, corporate and institutional levels and demonstrate the value and importance that employers place on effective CPD when recruiting for sustainable growth, work practices and teams.

The event will also mark the opening of the first CPD and Lifelong Learning Centre at “Lucian Blaga” University, offering courses and diploma programs to the wider community of Sibiu and the Transylvania region.
