The last three years of high school are focused on helping the students plan for their future by making a curriculum vitae, sitting exams and certifications that can be integrated with their academics, and building a foundation to choose which university to apply to, both in Italy and abroad.
A team manager from various notable businesses helps them throughout this process so that the students can get hands on experience through projects, training internships, and meetings with business professionals.
The hours spent completing these activities are considered part of the total hours for the Pathways for Transferrable Skills and Orientation.
