Rome, 20 April 2023 – Talk directly with companies to get to know the skills required, what positions they offer and to be able to evaluate the proposals in relation to their vocations. With this objective, hundreds of students and recent graduates of theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma participated today in Job Day 2023, the event that brought together over 45 local, national and international companies. Meetings with companies and cognitive interviews they populated the morning in the spaces of the university in via Àlvaro del Portillo who with his 14 degree courses today offers complete and valuable training in the fields of medicine, engineering, sustainability and food with integrated study paths and in step with market needs.

An important opportunity for young participants to present themselves directly to companies through individual interviews and follow the company presentations to deepen the knowledge of all the entrepreneurial realities present. A central moment in the process of approaching work that in Job Day UCBM of today summarizes and concretely represents a new way of providing orientation by creating direct contact between students and companies even before obtaining their degree, allowing you to get to know each other and propose yourself according to your aptitudes and desires.

To enrich the day also the talk on “Trends and scenarios of the labor market” in which illustrious guests discussed the new professional opportunities and new placement models in the various industrial sectors, from the most specific for training courses such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical and biomedical up to the broader areas such as IT, electronics, automation and consultancy.

The Rector participated in the talk UCBM teacher. Eugenio Guglielmelli, the CEO and DG UCBM Andrea Rossi, the vice-rector of Teaching UCBM and Vicar of the Rector prof Laura De Gara, the President and CEO of AlmaLaurea Srl Francesca Pasquini and the Vice President of Unindustria Joseph Biazzo who commented as follows:

We are increasingly convinced of the value of training built in close connection with the productive world – underlined the teacher Laura De Gara – a model that helps to immediately insert our students into the world of work. We offer students who are completing their university studies direct contact with the many professional worlds in which their studies can be applied: an opportunity to better direct their educational path and develop their human and professional vocations, to be protagonists of their future path of life and work".

During the interventions, the numerous challenges posed by the world of work today were highlighted: from the need for a continuous updating of skills, rapidly changing in every industry, to the emergence of a method of increasingly multidisciplinary work and research and contamination of knowledge, from the new trends that emerged after the pandemic with the various forms of "hybrid" work, up to the need and increasingly felt desire to balancing the needs of work with those of the family, for women as well as for men.

"In a context of profound change in which the candidate takes on the leading role in the recruiting processes, being present as AlmaLaurea Srl at an event like this underlines how the university and working worlds must increasingly walk together – he underlines Francesca Pasquini, President and CEO of AlmaLaurea Srl - As an AlmaLaurea system we want to fully respond to our mission of being a bridge between universities and the world of professions and we are constantly working to do so. Every day our commitment is aimed at offering services and innovations that facilitate both companies in their search for talent and students in their search for their own path and at offering support and enhancement of the orientation and placement paths offered by the universities".

The speakers, coordinated by the deputy director of the National Newspaper Raffaele Marmo, underlined the importance of building profiles in line with the needs of the productive world, considering the difficulty of companies in finding the sought-after profiles and the speed with which skills risk becoming obsolete.

“I am convinced that events like this are necessary to reiterate the importance of investing in the entire technical-professional education chain, in an orientation that allows families, students and teachers to better understand what is really needed in the world of work today - said Joseph Biazzo, vice-president of Unindustria with responsibility for human capital and business culture -  At university level we have a 40% mismatch that mainly concerns the STEM, chemical-pharmaceutical, mathematical, physical and computer sciences, industrial, electronic and information engineering. We need to create real poles of attraction; innovation, skills, continuous training, simplification, valorization of human resources are the future of work”.
