What can you expect from our School?
From the outset, it is a learning and life experience. In a highly competitive context, investing in training is a source of value creation and differentiation as a manager, enabling the improvement of business management quality in the realities in which it participates.
Executive Education at Católica Porto Business School offers programmes for companies and open training programmes, which aim to equip your teams and you with behavioural skills such as leadership and creative, innovative and critical thinking, along with technical skills that allow you to develop practical solutions to the world's problems and the demanding context that companies and managers face today.
By investing in our programmes, we aim to help you grow your teams and/or advance your professional career. But we also want you to enjoy an experience based on learning that promotes reflection, sharing of experiences, and dynamic interactions with colleagues, highly qualified teachers, businesspeople, and alumni on a university campus where, due to the existence of eight faculties, different knowledge intersects and a more prosperous and more differentiating network is promoted.
More than Courses, we offer Routes!
Because “know-how”, “know-people”, and “know-business” require sustained (re)knowledge of values and skills, which is rarely put into practice in executive education courses, we offer a demanding and selected training programme at these levels, which we consider a differentiating and distinctive experience.
We want our future managers to lead with purpose and to be in business, just as in life: with creativity, integrity, ethics, and humanity.
