PARTNERSHIPS WITH ITALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITIES

Each year the Company promotes workshops and training in cooperation with leading Italian universities to educate future generations. Recruiters are present at Career Days in various academic hubs to introduce the Company and distill the expectations of recent graduates and potential talent. Numerous workshops were also scheduled during the year in collaboration with the University of Parma and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, during which Group employees shared their theoretical and practical knowledge with students of specialized courses in Mechanical and Management Engineering. The Company also hosted students from around the world from Bocconi University's Lean Organization degree program as part of a factory tour to learn more about lean management and Industry 4.0. In Germany, Walterscheid has long collaborated with the University of Cologne. Especially in the field of agricultural engineering, thesis and research projects, educational internship experiences, and farm visits by students are crucial to learning the relationship between the study of theory and practice. For the most deserving students, collaborations with universities often end with internship projects in the Company, triggering a virtuous cycle of exchange of skills between the academic world and the working world.
