Apprenticeship programme: “A shool, a job. Training to excellence”

In 2013/14, thanks to the Cologni Foundation for the Métiers d’Art, 25 talented youths started their specialised apprenticeships. Within the programme, the young artisans, selected by a special commission, are given the opportunity to carry out a paid post-graduate apprenticeship in workshops and ateliers that are recognised for their exceptional level in various sectors. Selected in collaboration with the schools, the workshops not only provide highly specialised training, but also offer students concrete work opportunities after their apprenticeships.

This year the project “A shool, a job. Training to excellence” enabled 25 young artisans to start their training in workshops that range from restoration to violin-making, ceramics and glassworks. The Cologni Foundation wishes to thank the generous patrons who have “adopted” one or more apprentices: Banca Ifigest, Banco di Brescia, Crossfid S.p.a., Driade, Fondazione Manlio e Maria Letizia Germozzi Onlus, Fondo Vasco Ferrante, Giampiero Bodino, Patrimony 1873.

In 2014/15 the number of apprenticeships will be 35. The “adoptions” are in progress...
