High training
Nowadays, within the context of the ever changing production patterns
related to the deepening of globalization it seems to be more and more
strategic and even necessary to invest and create entrepreneurial skills
in order to produce high added value.
SMEs have to face a complex and high competitive market so that the public
measures becomes essential especially in terms of supporting their knowledge,
grow and innovation path as well as building dedicated networks.
In fact young graduated increasingly need to access to training paths,
in order to improve their education : high training represents
a wonderful opportunity to diversify the education offer .
The City of Turin is working for a growth based onto knowledge and onto
the development of innovative projects.
Projects
The City of Turin - together with the Province of Turin - constituted
a project-pilot concerning technological transfer called “Turin
Technological Transfer” (TTT) in 2004. at the moment It
also contributes to the implementation of some projects aiming at the high
training of young graduated and at the creation of high-level networks
between the scientific/academic world and the entrepreneurial context.
The partners are : Corep , the so-called “Incubators
of the Polytechnic and of the University, the
Committee of the Galileo Program (master in satellite
navigationand related applications)
and finally the Foundation “Turin Wireless”.
In the forthcoming months the City of Turin and the Province of Turin,
- together with the support of the Polytechnic, the University of Turin,
the Industrial Union, API (Turin section), CCIAA (Turin section), and
the foundation “Turin Wireless” as well as with the managerial
advising by Corep – are to manage a project related to the introduction
of high-skilled and motivated young graduated within some SMEs, in order
to build up some specific innovation plans -also within the context of
doctoral programs – in strong relationship with the high research
field. It is a strategic project for the territory in itself because it
is strong oriented to provide the SMEs with high-qualified human resources.
It’s widely recognized that the SMEs have some general difficulties
in introducing and managing innovation because of the lack of high skilled
human resources related to the research field. In fact only a little percentage
of this kind of high-skilled graduated manage to get absorbed by the academic
world and that they generally experience some problems in collocating themselves
into the labor market.
This initiatives represent then a good chance in order to value brilliant
young graduated just through their engagement into the productive context.
The project awards the assignment of scholarships in favor of young graduated,
whose activities will concentrate onto the implementation of an innovative
project presented by a company, with the supervision of a researcher from
the athenaeum of Turin. So each project will involve three subjects: the
company, the young graduated and the academic supervisor. Corep, managerial
coordinator of the Project , represents the connection element as
well as the operative organ deputed to the development of the related activities.
