The Position Paper From Career Guidance to Career Readiness stems from the collaborative work of AmCham Italy’s Education Committee, which brought together businesses, universities, training institutions, and professionals with the aim of contributing to the debate on the future of career guidance and strengthening the link between education and the world of work.
Through the exchange of experiences, data, and best practices, the need emerged to move beyond a traditional approach to career guidance and promote a more continuous and integrated model, capable of supporting students and young professionals in developing the skills, awareness, and tools needed to navigate an ever-evolving labor market.
The event represents an opportunity to officially present the Position Paper and initiate a dialogue among institutions, the education system, and businesses on the proposals developed by the Education Committee. The document aims to make a concrete contribution to public debate by identifying potential courses of action to foster greater alignment between educational pathways and the needs of the business community, with the goal of supporting human capital development and strengthening the country's competitiveness.
