„Through this program, ABSL invests in the sustainable development of business services sector and provides students with real opportunities to gain practical experience and to start their career in a new, fast-growing industry. In recent years, we have witnessed a remarkable leap in the attractiveness of these industries for young graduates as the the repetitive, low-value activities are more and more taken over by automated systems („Robotics”). Thus, human interaction in Outsourcing processes occurs at a much higher level than in previous years. Now we are asking for more creativity, synthesis and quality decision making in an everchanging working environment, inaccessible to the „robots” at this time” said Cătălin Iorgulescu, ABSL Vice President.
During the two years of study of the BS Master program, students can deepen matters as operational management, project management, process management (e.g. Six Sigma Green Belt, ITIL), ERP systems (SAP), financial analysis and process improvement in the business services industry under the guidance of AES teachers and department leaders of ABSL member companies.
