Within any job, course, or activity, there are fundamental skills that are common and transferrable. It is impossible to put a price tag on abilities such as critical, creative, and analytical thinking. Talents such as English language, research, and presentation are invaluable. In that regard, the Percorsi per le Competenze Trasversali e l'Orientamento (PCTO) program at ISE is intended to address exactly that. The program trains students who are getting ready for university or the job market by equipping them with the crucial skills required. In designing the program, academics and practitioners have been consulted in order to converge years of experience that would specifically benefit Italian learners (16-19 years old), demanding more from their lives. The 21st century with its hyper-competitiveness, volatility, and shortage of opportunities requires individuals to be at the top of their game.

The PCTO program at ISE provides an integrated approach to training students where practical knowledge, theoretical understanding, human psyche, and English language meet. A special focus is placed on the individual student needs, as to provide a tailored and fulfilling experience. The program is designed to meet the criteria of the Italian Alternanza Scuola Lavoro law. It takes an indirect approach to the teaching of English language. Instead of teaching English, students will have many opportunities to engage in problem-solving, project management, and group work, whilst using this medium.

Program Highlights

Workshops

There is a wide range of available workshops customized to student needs and in various fields. Students can participate in activities within the domains of Hospitality, Business, International Relations, European History, Sustainability, Marketing, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Technology, Aviation, Tourism, and Globalization. These sessions consider the aspirations and aptitudes of students, placing them in situations mimicking what students will go through in their future careers. In case additional subjects are demanded, ISE can design customized courses according to specifications given.

Industry Visits

ISE makes every endeavor to arrange professional visits to companies, offering students direct exposure and insight into their operations. These visits are all relevant to the undertaken course, and provide unique hands-on experience. These visits are subject to company authorizations, restrictions, and timetable.

Project-Based Learning

A major focus within the program is encouraging cooperation amongst students within teams. The idea is to enable collective thinking and problem-solving. The projects involve a wide array of skills and simulate real-world scenarios, where students will be challenged to not only bring results, but deliver those results in English.

Job Market

With the limited opportunities in the international job market, the program emphasizes students’ emotional, social, linguistic, and cultural intelligence as to have a competitive edge over rivaling candidates. Learners are also drilled in reasoning skills utilizing English for their verbal and written communication. Finally, confidence when articulating ideas is key which they improve daily in a comprehensible and fluent manner.
