  • Piazza dei Mestieri (literally 'Crafts Square') is a foundation with educational purposes, working towards better training and youth access to the labour market. It focuses on social inclusion policies and on the prevention of different kinds of youth disadvantage and early school leaving. It offers various forms of WBL, including apprenticeships, to around 550 students aged to 14 to 18, that are part of three-or four-year vocational programmes. As a foundation, it hosts and runs 'companies' where students participante in on-the-job training Piazza is also part of ITS foundations (higher technical institutes) offering tertiary education, also in the form of apprenticeships.

  • ENGIM is a VET provider for young people and adults in Turin. Work-based learning is at the heart of its training offer, especially to support transitions from school to work. Part of their training offer are the so called 'company academies', where all participating students are hired as apprentices by a partner company which trains them as employees with the aim of a permanent position. Once of these company academy was set up by GERLA, a historic pastry shop in Turin that reached out to ENGIM to train young people for qualifications in the pastry and baking industry. We would visit the GERLA pastry shop in Corso Palestro in Turin, located just next door to the main ENGIM site in town, allowing participants to experience the 'alternation' between off-and -on-the-job training and the shift of venues.
