The 3rd EABIS Education and Training Exchange on Corporate Responsibility
The EABIS Education and Training Exchange (ETE) provides a platform for interactive and creative exchange of successful executive learning and development initiatives across different stakeholder groups. The 2006 event in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Milan</st1:place></st1:city> revealed the emerging need to identify and share cases on the education and training of tomorrow's managers. This year's Exchange will address this challenge by profiling 30 innovative <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Business</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype></st1:place> and In-Company initiatives as selected by a peer review panel.
