The European Alliance for Apprenticeships is a multi-stakeholder initiative steered by the European Commission. The originator of the pledge is solely responsible for implementing the actions outlined in the pledge.
Description of the Organisation:Istituto Tecnico is hosting 1800 students in Mechatronics and ICT at upper secondary level. Currently 100 of these students are covered by apprenticeship contracts. Furthermore, the Istituto is hosting a fabrication laboratory (FabLab) and an incubator. The FabLab provides the possibility of developing and transforming ideas into real projects, as well as the possibility of learning and sharing methodologies and technical knowledge in a practical way. In the FaBLab, we are for example building a racing boat with 3D printing in carbon fibre. The Istituto is also hosting an Enterprise Incubator. The incubator is named LATI, and is the first business incubator in an upper secondary school with the aim of encouraging the students to develop business culture and skills. The incubator accelerates the development of new businesses, thanks to a series of services with high added value, such as, for example, offices to be used by the students, as well as advice on: 1) contributions to the definition of a valid business plan; 2) monitoring of loans; 3) networking with other companies; 4) marketing and communication.
