The School of Management S.A.F.M.
In Turin on 23 March 2009, the Giovanni Agnelli Foundation, the Edoardo Garrone Foundation and the Pirelli Foundation announced the creation of Associazione per la Formazione d’Eccellenza, a non-profit association intended to promote excellence in education in relation to the needs and outlook for the business and research, as well as the association’s first project: Scuola di Alta Formazione al Management.
With the conviction that investing in the future is key even in periods of crisis, the three foundations took action to promote practical solutions to the need to better educate young people, with a focus on quality and innovation. This led to Scuola di Alta Formazione al Management, in partnership with Collège des Ingénieurs, one of Europe’s most authoritative schools in the field of management training.
Scuola di Alta Formazione al Management targets young graduates in engineering and other scientific and economic disciplines (15 the first year, 40 once full operations have been achieved), providing them with specialist, full-time training in business administration, including 4 months of classroom training and 6 months of action learning inside businesses. In these internships, the students became junior consultants within companies, working on projects of strategic interest.
The course program is free of charge for the students, who are selected based on merit and previous education and background, and not based on income. In fact, students also receive a salary thanks to the fact that they are hired on fixed-term employment contracts for the entire training period. This sets this programme apart from other similar ones.
Courses began in September 2009. Classroom work (conducted in English) is held in part together with the instructors and other students of Collège des Ingénieurs in Paris, Stuttgart and San Gallo, and in part in Turin with instructors from Italian universities and polytechnic schools and from the business world.
