These six lectures, open to all interested parties, are part of the training of Azorean companies in management and leadership for sustainability.
It is a 72-hour training course directed to Azorean companies, also scheduled to begin this month.
Promoted by the Vice-Presidency of the Government, This initiative aims to provide Azorean entrepreneurs with practical models of sustainable management.
Both the training and the lectures fall within the Regional Government's commitment to the certification of the archipelago as a Sustainable Destination. It provides for the preparation of adequate responses from the Azorean society, in general, and from regional companies, in particular, to the achievement of goals that contribute to the projection of the Azores as a certified sustainable destination, thus reinforcing the genuine and consistent image of the products and services of Azorean companies.
