Training Enterprises and Work-Based Learning
ENGIM’s Training Enterprises are real businesses owned by ENGIM where students gain hands-on experience starting from their first year. While well-equipped laboratories provide practice opportunities, practical experience with real customers is essential. This combination of theoretical education and practical real work experience enhances employability and eases the transition from education to employment. ENGIM operates 11 training companies in Italy across five regions and one in Albania.
Professional development tutor
The Professional Development Tutor acts within training programmes involving work experience in external companies. This role is crucial for connecting students, companies, families, and training institutions, facilitating a smooth transition from training to employment. The Tutor serves as ENGIM’s local business liaison.
National Observatory “Youth and future”
Involving around 4000 young Italian students every year, the National Observatory “Youth and future” explores young people’s expectations and job prospects, the importance of training and professional fulfillment in their lives, and their core values. The Observatory can be an essential tool to listen to our young people, recognising and valuing each one in their growth path, and helping inform policies and services needed to support their transition to their desired future. The first two editions highlight a clear message: constantly evolving contexts require reliable, ongoing guidance and systems capable of valuing both skills and the dreams of those transitioning to the adult world. Education must once again take a central role in supporting young people throughout life, fostering relationships, collaboration, inclusion, and self-entrepreneurship to balance societal competition.
