From Classroom to Workplace: Virtus Lab Launches New Professional Courses for Autumn
Two Completely Free Training Programs Aimed at Job Placement for CNC Operators, Pile Drivers, and Cable Installers
Starting in November, the new professional courses by Virtus Lab, a social innovation model of the Antonio Emanuele Augurusa Foundation developed to address skills mismatch and provide job opportunities for young people.
The first professional training course will begin on November 7 and will focus on
training and job placement of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Machine Operators
in local companies throughout Calabria.
The second course will follow a few days later, on November 11, training professionals in electrical,
systems, and telecommunications fields in collaboration with AM IMPIANTI in Rombiolo
(VV) and other businesses across Italy.
Theoretical lessons and “learning-by-doing” sessions will be provided free of charge at the
training facilities in Lamezia Terme and Pizzo Calabro of the Augurusa Foundation. All course participants
will receive free accommodation in residences to ensure participation for those from out of town.
“We receive applications from all over Italy, which is why with the Virtus Lab model we want to
guarantee maximum assistance and support at every stage of territorial mobility,”
states Francesco Augurusa, President of the Augurusa Foundation and founder of Virtus
Lab. “It’s always wonderful to see in people’s eyes the desire to challenge themselves and face
difficulties to achieve the goal of a peaceful and dignified life.” In this direction,
Virtus Lab focuses on the social and work inclusion of young people who pass through
its classrooms and move to the territories of their destination companies. But that’s not all, Virtus Lab knows from direct experience the impact of emigration on
territories and communities and works daily to transform mobility from an
obligation into a choice. By engaging companies as primary actors, it builds training
programs that arise from specific hiring needs and plans the best matches between
companies and professional profiles, taking into account the needs and aspirations of people
who rely on its model. “We know well that finding work here in
Calabria isn’t easy, but wherever possible, we want to help people who wish to stay in the region
do so,” explains Francesco Silvaggio, Operations Director of Virtus Lab. “This year
we have therefore created a specific program for Calabria through which we intend to ensure
the closest possible territorial proximity between future workers and companies ready
to hire, demonstrating that with proper dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders, even
the South can offer hope.”
