University and career
Education symposium at the Corporate University
“Lifelong learning” as a challenge for
universities, companies, politics, administration
and the economy - this was the
key topic at the education symposium,
an event held by “Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft” together with
MLP in November 2008 at the Corporate
University. The basis was a survey highlighting
the need for academic further
education in companies. “The first
nation-wide platform addressing the
topic of quaternary education showed
that universities today have some excellent
offers,” explains Marc-Philipp Unger,
Group representative at MLP for relations
with universities. “We will continue to
set further impulses in the important
area of professional education, as both
the universities and many of our clients
can benefit from this.”

Strong women’s network
It was some 5 years ago that MLP consultant Walentina Sommer and female colleagues founded the first Women’s Business Club (wbc) in Munich. In the anniversary year 2008, the network has grown to 12 sites – with successful women from various sectors regularly attending specialist lectures or exchanging experiences. www.mlpwbc.de
