At the meeting, one of the biggest problems faced by professional associations today was discussed: educating new university graduates on need between university.

In this line, the moderator of the colloquium, Carmen Lizán, head of the INFORMATION Extras section, posed the first question: What do you offer new members? There was a difference at this point. compulsory college and voluntary membershipbut all that was present revealed the implication that these organizations make with recent graduates to know what is being offered to them and the importance of being a member.

«This is one of the biggest challenges of professional associations. We hold the hands of young people from the Alicante Association of Economists because we believe this is decisive, we protect ourselves but in other schools The number of universities is falling. We dedicate one meeting a year to ideas about the youth association and we have a meeting. open door program with university. We need to work hard on this awareness in non-compulsory membership as well.”

In this sense, representatives agreed that it is important for students to know about the school’s work before finishing their studies. «We have the following figure from the bar association: pre-university from the last academic year. The school’s job is to serve members and defend them so the professionals involved served and defended», stated Fernando Candela.

What new realities are they facing?

this digital transformation One of the fundamental realities facing all professions is that the health crisis caused by covid-19 has accelerated this transformation. This made an impact in all sectors and was reflected in different representatives of the province’s professional associations in the breakfast-colloquium. ” the new reality in the legal profession has to do with digitization, Meetings and proceedings were held electronically. Undoubtedly, digitization is here to stay”, explained the dean of ICALI.

Throughout the day, visibility was given to each of the challenges and issues faced by each group. as much as possible health sectorthe current situation is lack of staff, «today there is no map or list of how many doctors there are in Spain, where they are, how old they are, when they retired and what specialty they are. We know that doctors will have a very voluminous retirement. There is no substitute for the profession in the 1980s, it is a very serious problem. On the other hand, primary health care services are worst equipped for staff growth. Some studies show that being cared for by the same person, a family doctor, reduces mortality and the need for hospitalization. This is not taken into account when equipping the health system. I think it is a lack of programming, but it is very important. increase primary care», stressed the president of the Official College of Physicians in Alicante.

With expected retirements need professionals but we also don’t want it to be job banks without jobs later in university education or creating a place for professionals to go abroad. We want public administrations to guarantee this job bank and take into account the need to increase staff. to guarantee the quality and safety of our users. We can’t work with this staff shortage because we don’t give our patients the time they need.”

On the other hand, María del Mar Rodriguez is currently energy efficiency in buildings, european funds wave inflation Affected by community spending are some of the suggested scenarios for property owners’ communities. «European Funds is a supplement to help with the energy efficiency of buildings. As managers from the institutions they prefer us, we encourage this energy efficiency. Now they’re out too accessibility aids because there are many buildings that are not as accessible as they should be and do not have ramps or elevators. Neighborhood communities are committed to having a property manager to handle all procedures.
