MALPIGHI’S CAREER SERVICE is a service that accompanies the students throughout their final three years of high school to help them on a journey of self discovery, understanding the world of higher education and their future work so that they may make an informed decision about their path post-high school.
It is a structured process that involves students, teachers, administrators and outside experts, such as university representatives and professionals.
This service was created after the reorganization of the PCTO (Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e l’Orientamento) following the new ministerial guidelines in 2019 and it is organized into THREE MACRO AREAS. A large part of the hours included in this project are added to the total hours for the “Percorso per le Competenze Trasversali e per l’Orientamento”.
The FIRST macro area includes all the activities that in the past were considered in the “Alternanza Scuola Lavoro,” or the internship. Now, students are asked to do crash courses, contests, internships and special projects. The goal is to expose students to different realities and try out their skills by exploring their talents and passions.
The SECOND is dedicated to all the activities focusing on orientation post-diploma. Students, services, tools, and specific courses are made available:
• Individual Counseling Services – i docenti tutor sono a disposizione degli studenti per colloqui orientativi e informativi negli ambiti di loro interesse sia per la scelta universitaria che del futuro lavorativo;
