Globalworth has launched Open Learning powered by Globalworth, an educational programme in Wrocław designed to connect students, graduates and young professionals with employers and provide insights into careers in business and technology.
The initiative, developed in partnership with ChallengeRocket, was officially inaugurated on 12 June at the Ace of Space coworking facility in the Renoma complex. The programme is being implemented under the honorary patronage of Wrocław Mayor Jacek Sutryk and Lower Silesian Marshal Paweł Gancarz. The Wrocław Agglomeration Development Agency (ARAW) is serving as the programme’s strategic partner.
Over the coming months, participants will have access to a series of free masterclasses and workshops led by professionals from companies including Tauron, AXA XL, Scanway, Olympus, Olesiński & Wspólnicy, DXC Technology, Callstack and Techland. Sessions will be delivered both online and in person, taking place at Renoma and at participating companies’ offices.
According to Globalworth, the programme aims to provide young people with a better understanding of workplace environments, professional responsibilities and career opportunities across different industries. The initiative is targeted at high school students, university students and individuals entering the labour market.
Iwona Walendzik, Marketing & Communications Director at Globalworth, said the programme is intended to facilitate contact between young people and businesses while allowing companies to present their work environments, projects and organisational cultures to potential future employees.
The programme reflects a broader trend of office buildings being used for activities beyond traditional workplace functions, including networking, training and community engagement. Globalworth noted that office environments can provide opportunities for direct interaction between employers and individuals exploring future career paths.
ChallengeRocket CEO Tomasz Florczak said the initiative responds to changes in the labour market, including increasing automation, economic uncertainty and a reduction in entry-level opportunities. He noted that young people often have fewer opportunities to gain practical experience through direct contact with experienced professionals than in the past.
The programme will conclude with an autumn Skill Challenge, a practical competition in which participants will apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the workshops.
Organisers say the initiative is intended to strengthen connections between educational institutions and employers while helping participants make more informed decisions about their future careers.
ARAW Director of the Partner Projects Centre Tomasz Śpiewak said the programme aligns with efforts to support practical education and increase awareness among students of career opportunities available within companies operating in the Wrocław metropolitan area.
Wrocław was selected as the pilot location due to its large academic community and its role as one of Poland’s major centres for business services, technology and international investment.
