ADIGE, together with six other Trento companies, have participated in an experimental education programme Real co-operation between the academic world and industry INSPIRED FOR TUBE Event Integration between the teaching profession and industry has always been one of the ambitions of the <strong>BLM</strong> <strong>GROUP</strong>. When ADIGE, the Trento based member of the group, had the chance to carry out such a project, they didn’t let the opportunity slip. ADIGE, together with six other Trento companies, have participated in an experimental education programme devised by the Trento Provincial Council Training and Education Service in conjunction with ENAIP , the Trento -Villazzano Professional Training Centre. This project, which is ongoing, is open to students at the end of their usual three year degree course at the Professional Centre and consists of a further year of specialisation with truly innovative features: all the training activity for the scholastic year has been developed by the ENAIP Centre in consultation with the firms involved with a constant rotation of ideas between the academics and the commercial companies. This has had profound effects upon the company students and they have now become accustomed to this method of teaching. Industrial Maintenance The planning of the project began in June 2003 when, after a proposal from the Provincial Council, all involved agreed on a definition of the profile needed: an INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE TECH- NICAN who would be a professional figure who was specialised in the maintenance of industrial automation equipment encompassing electrics, electronics, pneumatics and hydraulics. This was envisaged as a combined mechanical and electronics engineering engineer, a “Mecca- 14
tronico” figure who possessed a clear understanding and interest in the maintenance sector and specifically for the activities of Technical Assistance, Assembly, Installation and Testing which are its predominant features. The “college in the company” ADIGE embraced this initiative with enthusiasm correctly understanding that it would be a good investment in training specialised personnel with multi-discipline characteristics. Because of this, the company has collaborated actively to find competent professionals to develop, and at the same time, to be involved with the content of the pilot scheme. They participated directly, together with the ENAIP lecturers, in the selection of candidates and personally introduced two students who, at the start of the scheme, had little idea that they would now,today, be working in the company as fellow employees. ADIGE believe strongly that the rotation of ideas and opinions between the academic world and their own is fundamental and they are very conscious of the fact that experiences of this type produce positive results which have a “trickle down” effect: for the students , first of all, who can more properly understand in practice what they have learned in theory, and also for the colleges who see the real value of their work. This really is a “college in a company” where both commercial concern and academic college are “arm in arm” Opinions on the success of the initiative are very positive, both from the lecturing staff at the Professional Training Centre and from the companies taking part in the scheme. The real significance of the programme and its initial success is that the scholastic/working year has now not only inaugurated a second course for the industrial maintenance technician scheme but has announced two new courses for technician courses geared to electronics and electrics.
