1. 1 PTSW (in Italian PIL) P ath of T ransition from S tudying to W orking of University of Ferrara (Italy) _________ Beijing, May 27 2011 Job Centre (Unife) in partnership with: Cds (Centre Documentation Study)

2. 2 PTSW preview  Relationship with the students in the last University year (close to the degree) in companies  Throught a pathway of 120 hours of education, 3 months of internship and 12 months of real work.  The goal is: An integration of the last step of the studying process with a first, full, payed work experience

3. 3 PTSW (PIL) program tutorship …  Help the students in the last university year to get a first full payed work with a tutorship … by an organization with 3  partners : - University - An Education Centre (Cpf) - A private Research’s Centre, expert in labour market (Cds)

4. 4 PTSW- P IL is a program of Transition and Alternating studying and working a) (Traditional) approach to “Transition”: The development of individual pathway is “in sequence”: b) (PIL) Approch to “Alternating Studying and Working”: The pathway is “interlaced” in the last step of University instruction: Instruction Education Instruction Work Education Work

5. 5 3 years of University degree: 180 credits  Education Credits (about 30), half year of study : - 12 credits for the lectures of teachers and companies - 8 credits for internship - 10 credits for the work  Education feed back from work to education: - The work experience of students provides feed- back to the University education programs

6. 6 120 hours, half by the companies 380 hours with 24 hours in University 12 months of job full time 2. Internship3. Work The 3 steps of PTSW-PIL credits Selection,Candidature and Matching 1. Lectures

7. 7 Involvment of companies Lectures Internship Work June ---October --- February -- May --------------------------- April PTSW-PIL Timing Registration of Students Selection and Allocations

8. 8 The process of selection students - companies in the PIL process - Students: registration at the PIL - Companies: availability to take part Students: Preliminary talk Companies: Agreement for a temporary job of 12 months Workshops of presentation Professional positions / Jobs

9. 9 Generally we have 200 students and 50 companies offering 100 jobs Every Company have 1 hour of presentation time. This is a real lecture. Every student chooses the companies where he/she wants to have an interview

10. 10 The process of selection students - companies in the PIL process Every Company prepare a ranking list and identifies the eligible students: i.e. out of 20 students only 7 are eligible Finally we have i.e. 50 Rankings of students in 50 Companies and the eligible Students choose the Company in ranking order: 1,2,3,4,5,…

11. 11 The student who arrived first in the ranking chooses the company (The “little market 2”)

12. 12 We research the companies in a large area, not only in the Ferrara area, but also in the regional area and further (The map shows where the pil students worked)

28. 28 A possible evolution of the PIL process v/s the “new apprenticeship” a) PIL approach “alternating studying-working”: the ways “interlace” in the last step of university instruction b) PIL with the ”apprenticeship”: PIL’s steps of studying and internship are the “educational part” of apprenticeship studyinginternshipwork studyingWork- apprenticeship Project Work

29. 29 We have too Masters with 1 year of work with the same PIL technology and apprenticeship We have too ITS (2 years not University instruction, professional) after the Secondary Level, students of 19 and 20 years old, with the same Technology (PIL process): 1 year of studying and 1 year of working studyinginternshipworkstudying Work- apprenticeship

30. 30 The external service supports an innovative organization in the University. Every University is concetrated on own internal core process (education & research) and assures the routines. The flexibility and the reduction of uncertainty is assured with “organizational slack”, abounding resources (external resources) to control the uncertainty (Thompson).
