About training
01
Relevance of the program
Government Relations' functions have finally become the mandatory condition for development and enhancement of business and nonprofit organizations. It is literally neither possible nor justifiable to execute major or social responsibility projects as well as agree upon some long-term investments without the strategically significant collaboration with state authorities. The role of managers, who are responsible for interaction with public entities, has been increasing. The managers start facing the mounting requirements to their professionalism as well. The future of the overwhelming majority of world markets is inexorably connected with state actions. Geopolitical adjustments, protectionism, import substitution, export promotion, technological ambitions, the state social initiatives development, and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic — all this is rapidly changing the conjuncture and requires high-precision adjustment of business and the "third sector". Under these complex and sophisticated circumstances the trust of the State is positioned as the most precious capital of for-profit companies and NGOs. GR-experts are in extremely high demand now, and their professional relevance has been expanding annually.
02
Goal of the program
Mastery and advancement of the professional activity, aimed at representing and promoting the interests within the system of public entities at the regional, federal and supranational (ECE) levels as well as internationally.
03
Target Audience
We invite business owners, top managers of private and state organizations, PR, IR, HR and GR-specialists, public employees, representatives of media, nonprofit sector and expert community. All the interested persons, who are wishing to upgrade their relevant skills and competences, are welcome as well!
