2 September: what is celebrated today
2 September is a date with a flavour of history and innovation. In Argentina, it recalls the country's first official export in 1587, an episode with more intrigue than it appears to have. And around the world, it opens the door to Digital Learning Week, which invites us to rethink education in an age of screens and global connectivity.
Industry Day: when it all began with a ship
In 1587, from the anchorage of the Riachuelo, the caravel San Antonio set sail for Brazil with a cargo that, according to records, included flour and textiles from Tucumán. The reality was less official and much bolder: silver from Potosí, whose export was prohibited, travelled hidden in its holds.
That clandestine voyage, beyond the anecdote, marks the starting point of what we now celebrate as Argentine Industry Day, a date that honours production, innovation and the ability to turn raw materials into progress.
Digital Learning Week: when school fits in the palm of your hand
From 2 to 5 September 2024, UNESCO once again reminds us that knowledge is no longer confined to physical classrooms. With more than 6 billion people using smartphones, tablets or computers, Mobile Learning (M-Learning) has turned education into a portable, interactive and borderless experience.
This week seeks to demonstrate how apps, connectivity and creativity can:
Bring education to the most remote corners.
Make it inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Enable collaborative, dynamic and personalised learning.
Global Talent Acquisition Day
Where this celebration comes from
Global Talent Acquisition Day was born in 2018 thanks to the joint initiative of KRT Marketing Agency and The Association for Talent Acquisition Professionals (ATAP). Both organisations understood that it was necessary to give visibility to those who, from human resources and recruitment, have the difficult task of matching companies’ needs with the skills, aspirations and values of thousands of candidates around the world.
Much more than hiring
Talent acquisition is not about filling vacancies at random. It involves designing a long-term strategy to attract the right people, build pools of ready professionals and anticipate labour-market trends.
These specialists are genuine talent hunters: they combine data, networks of contacts and digital tools with the intuition and experience needed to understand that, sometimes, the best CV does not say everything there is to know about someone.
A future driven by talent
In a world where technology advances by leaps and bounds, the real competitive advantage will continue to be the human factor. That is why Global Talent Acquisition Day does not merely celebrate a profession; it celebrates the idea that every great project begins with the right person in the right place.
