Training and employment opportunities for young people
The project, supported by the Carlo Acutis Foundation, is carried out in the Corvetto district of Milan, by the Specchio d’Italia Foundation and the La Strada Cooperative. It is aimed at those young people unable to complete their lower secondary school education. In agreement with the schools they come from, 15 students (aged between 14 and 17) take an alternative route towards the lower secondary school diploma, attending the headquarters of the cooperative with a dedicated learning programme for the final school year.

Alongside the regular teaching courses, the students can also take part in practical activities (bread-making and carpentry) and internships, offering them an effective way to make contact with the world of employment. In June, they all take the lower secondary school final examination, thus concluding their experience in a positive, useful way for their future.
The aim of the project and of the Carlo Acutis Foundation is to save young people with a high risk of dropping out of school, helping them to continue with their studies and accompanying them towards obtaining their diploma.
