President of APSCV highlights the importance of training professionals for a new labor market model
Edna Timas made these statements during the opening ceremony of the National Secretariat Meeting that takes place from today to October 14th in Praia, under the motto “Executive Advisory: challenging the new market model”
According to this person in charge, the Covid-19 pandemic created a need to readapt to the service provision system, execution of tasks, without neglecting responsibility, productivity, quality and competence.
The profession, highlighted the president of APSCV, went through several transformations until reaching its current level, recognizing that organizations invested in improvement and innovation in order to achieve their objectives.
“Secretariat was and is a resilient profession, throughout history it has faced wars, catastrophes and others, but it has always reinvented itself and known how to find its feet again. Its evolution is notable. From the 1930s to the present day, with the greater insertion of women in the job market, the Secretarial profession has become largely feminine,” she declared.
As he highlighted, the job market is increasingly demanding and requires highly qualified professionals, capable of achieving satisfactory results, highlighting that taking into account that the Secretariat is mainly carried out by women, the challenge of overcoming it was greater during the covid pandemic- 19.
Edna Timas defended, in this sense, the importance of encouraging and preparing these professionals to compete in this extensive market, whether nationally or internationally, considering that the market is in constant transformation and requires professionals who are healthy in body and mind, in sustainable environments.
“The office of the future will be more fluid, decentralized and quite different from today and the role of professional secretaries will also undergo a similar transformation. The requirements remain the same,” he said, adding that the market demands an increasingly qualified professional equipped with tools to better position themselves.
With this event, APSCV intends to bring together a significant number of professionals from professional to higher education levels, from all educational institutions, ministries and Civil Society organizations, to explore all knowledge and opportunities together, thus being able to integrate professionally And not only.
During the event, several topics of common interest will be covered, the most important being the mastery of digital tools, a health fair and lectures on women’s health and in particular breast cancer.
The event aims to bring together national and international Secretariat professionals to reflect together on Executive Advisory and the challenges of the constantly changing job market, holding a Conference on various topics related to the Secretariat and women’s empowerment.
It also plans to train 100 women secretaries in the area of communication, leadership and ICT at the Secretariat, hold an exhibition about the Secretariat and present two books about the Secretariat during the event.
