Career Guidance and Placement Activities for CTF Degree Program

The CTF Degree Program promotes and implements, both independently and through collaboration with other entities, a set of career guidance activities. These initiatives are coordinated by a dedicated committee that oversees extracurricular internships and Job Placement activities, with administrative and managerial support from the Internship and Job Placement Office.

The Work Accompaniment Committee is coordinated by prof. Marialuisa Saviano. The activities of the committee relevant to the Degree Program are overseen by prof. Monica Viviano.

The career guidance activities proposed by the Degree Program consist of a comprehensive set of synergistic initiatives. These activities unfold throughout the Academic Year, accompanying graduating students and recent graduates from the final years of the program through the early years after obtaining the degree.

Activation of Extra-curricular Internships and Skills Certification

For the purpose of activating extra-curricular internships aimed at facilitating entry into the workforce, the Degree Program promotes the signing of specific agreements with companies and organizations active in sectors relevant to CTF graduates for the implementation of such internships. As part of this activity, there is the possibility of certifying the acquired skills, which is crucial for job placement and subsequent professional experiences. This is achieved through the 'Skills Transparency Sheet' of the FIXO program by the Ministry of Labor. This program involves the acquisition, by the intern, of a document attesting to the experience gained and the related skills, in agreement with all parties involved: the University (Promoting Entity), the Company/Organization where the internship takes place (Hosting Entity), and the Intern (see Activation Procedure and Documentation).
