The online institutional induction sessions are under way!

21/01/2021

It is fair to say that 2020 has been the year when we have done more telework than ever, and seen each other less than ever before. But it has also been a year in which the UOC has continued to grow.

We began 2021 a few weeks ago and did not want to wait any longer to welcome all those who have joined us in the midst of the pandemic, under permanent or long-term contracts. And so, we have now begun the online institutional induction sessions!

This January (the 14th and 19th for administrative staff and the 20th for teaching staff) the first online institutional inductions sessions took place. In these sessions the new members of staff were able to meet the president, Josep A. Planell, the general manager, Antoni Cahner, and the Vice President for Teaching and Learning, Carles Sigalés.

At these meetings, President Planell highlighted the success of the UOC’s educational model, how being a privately managed public university allows us to continue growing and hiring new talent, and how COVID-19 has forced us to reconsider many things, including a new way of working.

General Manager Cahner discussed the UOC’s structure and mission, while Carlés Sigalés, Vice President for Teaching and Learning, talked about the teaching role and profile of our teaching staff.

On 25 February there is a second induction session scheduled with the general manager in which he will explain all the details of the UOC’s organizational model and bring to a close the institutional induction for all those who joined the University in 2020, 45 in total! We welcome you all and wish you every success here at the UOC!

The UOC induction process

These meetings form part of the induction process, which consists of four phases: the face-to-face induction (now online), a self-guided induction (involving exploration of the IntraUOC induction page, completion of a “welcome game”, and training on occupational health and safety), sessions with the Executive Board, and the chance to register for a fully subsidised open course, meaning the opportunity to experience studying at the UOC.
