Young program

We have faith in the future, in innovation and in the contribution the younger generation can make to society.

We promote our commitment to the country, strengthening the virtuous link with the world of education, schools and universities, with the aim of supporting the development of tomorrow's professionals by sharing skills and know-how and encouraging the spread of digital expertise for a more inclusive and sustainable future.

University

In an increasingly changing working environment, we actively contribute to the creation of educational tracks that meet concrete needs for the acquisition of digital and transversal skills with the aim of better preparing young people and students for the challenges of the future.

Partnership

To this end, we build contacts and relationships with universities, including through membership of the Associate Programmes promoted by various universities (such as, for example, Università Luigi Bocconi and Politecnico di Milano) to meet orientation and training needs and promote real experiences for the development of innovative skills.

There will be many opportunities to meet and take part in events and initiatives that will focus on technological innovation, project work and how to deal effectively with a job interview, as well as opportunities for discussion and reflection on Gender Equity and women in STEM subjects.

All these programmes are possible thanks to the contribution of Fastweb managers and professionals who make their experience available to students, offering encouragement and vertical perspectives for professional development and growth.

Scholarships

In order to respond to the national economic system's demand for training and scientific research, and to be a proactive player of an on-going process of cultural advancement and integration, we support male and female students through a number of scholarships in partnership with various universities.

In particular, Fastweb has joined the Girls@Polimi, the scholarship programme to support female engineering students, created by Politecnico di Milano to encourage their career plans in the field of innovation and technology.

PCTO (Formerly School-Work Integration)

Since 2016 Fastweb has been committed to contributing to PCTO projects (formerly School-Work Integration), promoting orientation classes to bring male and female students closer to the world of work with the aim of spreading digital culture and the spirit of innovation in society.

Projects

During the health emergency phase, PCTO activities were converted to an entirely online format to keep the link with students alive and ensure that they have access, even remotely, to orientation initiatives aimed at discovering digital and its potential for the development of new technologies and the professions of the future.

Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, the new PCTO project in hybrid mode, which combines the benefits of digital with in-person meeting times, kicks off. The course, in partnership with Junior Achievement, runs from February to July 2023 and is geared toward developing the entrepreneurial skills of the younger generation.
Enterprise in Action
Classes simulate a mini-enterprise called to develop a real business idea, from concept to market launch, with the support of coaches selected from managers of Fastweb and other partner companies. The developed projects will be eligible for regional and national competitions. The winning idea can then compete in the European competition in Istanbul in July 2023.
Orientation Marathon
Webinar series on the topic of the professions of the future, told by those who perform them on a daily basis, and labor market trends.

Fastweb provides its contribution through the provision of a masterclass.
Further details are available here.
Fastweb's PCTO program has received the Bollino per l'Alternanza di Qualità (BAQ) 2022, which joins the awards obtained in the years 2018 , 2019 and 2021 given by Confindustria to entities that stand out for offering innovative pathways to benefit the development of the skills of the younger generations.

As part of Fastweb's activities for schools, visits to the latest generation Tier IV-certified Data Center in Milan also continue.
