Career Advisory - meetings
Career Advisory, plan your career!
The Scuola Normale intends to strengthen its commitment to placement activities, also through the organization of dedicated training initiatives that allow students to become familiar with the useful tools to orient themselves more consciously in their search for the world of work.
Gaining confidence with these issues allows you to face the planning of your own path with greater serenity and awareness, and it is therefore important to deal with these issues not only and not so much at the end of your studies but also in progress, also with a view to personal well-being and balance.
After an initial experiment carried out in 2024, the Career Advisory meetings held by Career Coach Alessandra Zucca will be offered in several editions in 2025, from February to November. Each meeting will be repeated several times to allow the widest possible audience to benefit from these interventions.
The courses may take place in Italian or English, based on the registrations received.
The meetings will be financed within the regional funds relating to the ESF 2021/2027 and will take place according to the following calendar:
