Italy: Finmeccanica and the Departments of Education and Labor sign agreement on youngsters’ access to employment

“The basic idea of the project is to reward and recognize the value of all work experiences as precious source of personal and professional enrichment” explained Finmeccanica leader Giuseppe Orsi when presenting the memorandum of understanding signed on November 23 with the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Education for the national launch of the “Ticket to Work” project.  Developed by Finmeccanica, this project takes account of extracurricular activities when selecting/recruiting young graduates as an asset that makes a difference – a true cultural change for Italy.  It is also the first time a company is making an official commitment with the institutions in a project encouraging the development of “knowledge culture” of the young generation.
