Visits to Institutions
A direct connection with the professional world
Visits to institutions are a key element of the Accademia XXI program, offering students a unique opportunity to connect with the real and professional world. Through collaborations with private companies, foundations, and other prestigious organizations, students have the chance to closely observe workplace dynamics, understand market challenges, and draw inspiration from success stories. These practical experiences allow our participants to gain a concrete perspective on various career opportunities, enriching their educational journey with applied knowledge and innovative insights. The visits are designed to promote critical thinking, encourage networking, and prepare students to excel in global professional environments.
