Vino: ripensare la formazione per sostenere la crescita del settore vitivinicolo

🍷 Areni Global, a wine industry think tank, released a white paper titled "Rethinking Education: Shaping the Future of the Wine Trade," after an 18-month study focusing on the education sector excluding viticulture and wine production. The research, which included interviews with academics, MBA program heads, certification bodies, and recruiters, revealed challenges in finding professionals with the right skillset for the evolving wine industry. Despite a 15% global increase in candidates for the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Diploma by September 2024, the industry faces a shortage of talent with broad business skills like financial literacy, project management, strategic decision-making, and communication. The study suggests educational programs should balance wine knowledge with cross-functional business skills to sustain the industry's profitability against turbulent economic and geopolitical backdrops.
