Confartigianato Academy Celebrates Its First 32 Graduates

ON 21 SEPTEMBER SDA BOCCONI AND THE NATIONAL DELEGATION OF CONFARTIGIANATO IMPRESE CELEBRATE THE SUCCESS OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THE COURSE AND THE LAUNCH OF THE TWO NEXT ONES WITH A CONVENTION.

On 21 September, thirty-two Italian artisans will receive their diplomas from the first edition of the Confartigianato Academy, the training course organized by SDA Bocconi School of Management and the national delegation of Confartigianato Imprese and specifically aimed at the microenterprise. The diplomas will be awarded to the first participants during the convention on “Piccola impresa: quale ambiente per competere” (4:30pm at SDA Bocconi), moderated by the vice director of Corriere della Sera Dario Di Vico, which will be attended by Cesare Fumagalli, national secretary of Confartigianato, Marco Leonardi, economic councilor of the premiership and by the congressman Raffaello Vignali. The launch of the second and third editions of the Academy will be announced at the event.

As explained by Paolo Preti and Marina Puricelli, respectively coordinator and faculty member of the course, “The Academy is a bet that paid off.” “On one hand, in fact, Confartigianato has showed great intuition in wanting its associates to participate, even though Bocconi University is mostly perceived as a school of management for bigger or multinational firms. On the other one, it is a challenge overcome for SDA Bocconi, which proved able to confront the microenterprise segment, an area largely unoccupied by business schools.”

Fifty-one participants for the second and third editions will be added to the 32 graduates of the first one, which took place from September 2016 to March 2017. The new participants are “artisans between 25 and 50 years of age coming from all different parts of Italy,” adds Marina Puricelli, “who will be provided with specific and immediately applicable managerial tools for their reality. The training program will be based largely off of successful case studies of companies similar to theirs.”
