Academia's director Žan Dapčevič, as president of the VTIS society of Slovenians educated abroad, took part in a new episode of the Employment Service of Slovenia podcast "Za kulisami trga dela" (Behind the scenes of the labour market). The episode, "Brain drain or talent circulation: brains on their way home", hosted by Živa Štiglic, asked why many young Slovenians study, work or gain experience abroad, what international environments offer them and what challenges they face on returning.
Dapčevič stressed the value of international experience, of connecting Slovenian professionals around the world and of creating conditions for knowledge, contacts and experience to flow back to Slovenia.
The topic is closely linked to Academia's mission: modern education should be open, internationally connected and focused on concrete competences that allow students to succeed at home and abroad. International experience is not a loss of potential but an opportunity for individuals, the economy and society. The key challenge is not preventing departures but ensuring that knowledge gained abroad returns, circulates and creates new value.
