Iniziativa welcomes the talents of the DIGITA Academy for the project work phase

🎓 The DIGITA Academy journey continues: after months of classroom training, DIGITers enter the project work phase in the company, putting into practice the skills and tools developed during the program.

In this context, we are happy to welcome Angela Esposito e Federica Falbo, who in the coming months will be involved in project activities to support the teams, contributing with their training on the topics of digital transformation and innovation.

Collaboration between academia and businesses represents a fundamental step in fostering skills development and fostering the intersection of advanced training and applied experience. This commitment also reflects the value we believe in: getting by giving, investing in people and developing talent, means making a concrete contribution to the development of local communities and organizations.

Best of luck to Angela and Federica on this new phase of their journey.
