Is today’s economic education preparing young people for real business challenges?

This question is increasingly being discussed by employers, academics, and students alike. The world is changing faster than textbooks can be updated. Today’s labour market requires professionals who not only understand theory but also have practical understanding of how modern companies, financial institutions, and the economy in general operate.

That is why cooperation between universities and businesses is no longer simply a trend – it has become a necessity. When students analyse real-life business cases, engage with industry practitioners, and observe how management decisions are made, education takes on an entirely new dimension. This is precisely the purpose of our Academic Hub Pivdenny initiative.

In her opinion piece for Mind.ua, Anzhela Ihnatiuk, Dean of the Faculty of Economics at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, shares her perspective on these challenges and opportunities, as well as the University’s partnership with Pivdenny Bank.
