The work of the future is being built today: this was the subject of Intellimech’s interview with NTS CEO Marco Manzoni on the subject of young people and companies.<\/p>\n

Marco Manzoni opened the interview as follows: ‘We are faced with an epochal transformation of the scenario in which changes in the demands of companies, prompted by factors such as technological innovation and sustainability, must come to terms with imposing requirements also at a social and cultural level. Particularly in Europe and Italy, these problems take the name of demographic decline and increasing ageing of the population, which add up to new attitudes of many young people with respect to working time and the management of their own lives. One fact is certain: today’s young people are different from even the previous generation.”<\/p>\n

He went on to talk about how the world of work and the world of higher education need a fruitful dialogue now more than ever, in which businesses and representative organisations such as Confindustria must also play a key role.<\/p>\n

“There may be different opinions and judgments on this reality, sometimes laudatory, sometimes critical, but one cannot underestimate the changes. Businesses, just like schools, must not only consider them as priorities, but also activate proactive paths. Young people need concrete answers, as well as analyses of their identity or expectations. In this sense, Confindustria Bergamo believes it has an important role and responsibility. A first path of commitment for us in Confindustria is precisely the analytical one.
\nEven though no one can predict the future with certainty, it is indeed necessary to monitor and understand more and more how work is changing, just like the factory and the manufacturing world. Looking in advance at how work will change can help everyone prepare for the future in time. Just think of the increasing impact of digitisation on human resources management. For our Education team, this is a constantly growing activity that also involves entrepreneurs from all product groups. It is always evolving and being implemented, also because we transfer our research data to companies as well as to schools and universities. They are our primary interlocutors, towards whom we implement collaborative initiatives aimed first and foremost at student orientation and knowledge of the industrial world. The historical school-to-work activities have long since been replaced by new proposals and opportunities that better foster contact and dialogue between companies and students.
\nThese initiatives, which we manage and promote, are synergistically connected to events that further develop the opportunities for young people to meet and learn about companies. An excellent example is the Bergamo Job Festival, which involves about a thousand students and 185 companies in the area, creating more than 5,000 interview moments. Also in the area of events and exhibitions, our collaborative relationship with universities, and with the University of Bergamo in particular, is very close.”<\/p>\n

He continues, ‘A specific discourse, due to its growing and strategic importance, has our activity in the ITS sphere. It should be remembered that this type of post-diploma course is characterised precisely by strong integration with the business system in the participation in the design of the profiles, in the presence of experts from the world of work for more than 50 per cent of the teaching, and in the realisation of at least 800 training hours in apprenticeships or traineeships. Confindustria Bergamo is taking an active part in setting up a joint table of all ITSs in order to exploit synergies between the Foundations, enhance the role of enterprises and test new models for enhancing the technical-professional supply chain. We could give several other examples of the articulation of our commitment. In all the areas where we operate, however, it is clear that people are and remain an organisation’s most valuable asset. Clarity on both fronts can bring out the skills pools where there is a shortage of talent, allowing action to be taken before such a shortage becomes an obstacle to competitiveness. I would like to conclude by recalling how the PNRR devotes the whole of mission 4 to innovation processes in the education system, with a special focus on the school-business link. General guiding thread: the enhancement of the educational role of enterprises. This principle is aimed at an objective, in line with European best practices, of increasing the employability of schooling and consequently reducing the mismatch with the skills needs of enterprises. In line with these principles, as Confindustria Bergamo we are committed to helping schools, from primary school onwards, to accompany adolescents towards an informed choice of high school route that contemplates not only the discovery of their aptitudes, but also prospects in terms of future professional outlets. The prevailing theme is to provide a broad picture of the changing labour market and industry itself. For many young people, this information results in a pleasant discovery, realising how industry and factory are very different from what they had imagined.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
