Ralf Blasek has headed the university-affiliated Graduate School Rhein-Neckar (GSRN) since October 2021
Ralf Blasek was appointed Managing Director of Graduate School Rhein-Neckar gGmbH with effect from October 1, 2021. He succeeds Klaus Eisold, who is returning to the university in a managerial role. The Graduate School is a non-profit institution of the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society, which provides lifelong learning opportunities. The portfolio currently comprises eleven continuing education courses.
In Ralf Blasek, the Graduate School has gained a proven expert in the field of continuing education. In his various professional positions, the computer science graduate has held a wide range of management roles with involvement in broad-based educational topics. Most recently, he was head of the in-house academy of a medium-sized company. Before that, he was responsible for university programs at an international corporation. Blasek lives in the metropolitan area Rhine-Neckar and is well connected here. He has long-standing links with the Graduate School, for which he has been a part-time lecturer in the areas of leadership and talent development since 2012.
"For the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society, which has successfully managed its academic continuing education programs through the Graduate School Rhine-Neckar for many years, the appointment of Mr. Blasek as Managing Director is an important step in setting the course," said University President Prof. Dr. Peter Mudra. He fits in perfectly with the approach of lifelong learning and the special quality promise of a state university, where the proportion of part-time students is currently around 15 percent and rising.
Ralf Blasek believes that continuing education is currently in an exciting phase. "After particular challenges in the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, companies and employees are now focusing more on external skills development again." The Graduate School Rhine-Neckar supports all those who want to advance people and companies through further development. "I am looking forward to working with the Graduate School team, the university, companies and students to further develop the Graduate School in the metropolitan area Rhine-Neckar in order to make a valuable contribution to talent development," says the new Managing Director, describing the core of his mission.
