Until very recently, higher education institutions were in charge of educating and training professionals and the labor market was in charge of employing them. Driven by the wave of the knowledge society, current trends are to integrate both scenarios, educational and labor, for university professional training; learning based on real work experiences within the university curriculum is no longer an option to become a necessity.

In Líderes del Futuro we deal with this issue from the analysis of the learning process that takes place in the real work scenarios in which university students find themselves during the workshops.

Group work is a constant at all educational levels: from infant to university and from there to postgraduate degrees. Working in a team serves to develop theoretical knowledge, but also skills such as communication and conflict resolution, in addition to preparing students for the reality of a world of work in which knowing how to cooperate is an increasing requirement in companies. Leaders of the Future provides them with an environment where skills are developed that, otherwise, students would not develop only with interaction with the teacher.

This is the basis on which the concept of cooperative learning is built, a growing methodology that defends the benefits of learning in the team against traditional individual or competitive approaches.

In the Leaders of the Future program, we know that it is important that you visit the university you wish to attend. Because you will not only be able to connect with the atmosphere and know if it is the option for you. Let’s go through the campuses together and visit the different areas of the universities such as the dormitories, the cafeteria, the library, attend a class, and ask many questions.

If you don’t like your chosen college, you will have a hard time after a few months of attending it. If you are unable to visit in person, you can access the virtual tours

Meeting face-to-face with an admissions representative to discuss why you want to attend their university seems like a traumatic experience, and you don’t have to go through it alone. The Leaders of the Future program accompanying you guidelines and tools to face interviews. Especially for shy students or those with low GPAs, but really, it’s not that sinister.

First, it lasts no more than an hour, or more or less the time it takes for an episode of your favorite series. Second, remember that while the college entrance interview is important, it is typically not the deciding factor in whether the college sends you an acceptance letter or not. Many colleges don’t offer college entrance interviews at all, but if you get the chance, take it. It is your opportunity to stand out and we are here to help you.

STEM activities will offer you and your children an enjoyable opportunity to spend time together, a great time to create outstanding things with your own hands, and a great way to learn about science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math.

Leaders of the l Future has designed a series of STEM and STEAM activities for young people, very easy to do at home, that will allow them to understand many different facts about how the world works, and how they can apply the knowledge developed in school, in situations of real life.

STEM and STEAM show our youth the relationship between science, technology, engineering, the arts, mathematics, and how these fields are linked. In addition, it shows our young people that they can use the skills acquired in this class, even if they do not want to be engineers or computer professionals.
