“DIDATTICA IN FABBRICA” (IN-PLANT<br />

TUTORING) NUMBER ONE<br />

The second year of the triennial “Didattica in<br />

Fabbrica” (In-plant Tutoring) training project<br />

will begin next September, implemented with<br />

the experience gained and with a number of<br />

novelties, as anticipated in last June’s press<br />

conference.<br />

The end of the 2008-2009 academic year<br />

coincided with the end of the first year of the<br />

“Didattica in Fabbrica” Project, in which 28<br />

students from the “Luigi Galvani” Technical<br />

College of Brescia worked together with<br />

METRA. The final press conference of the first<br />

experimental year was held last 12th June,<br />

with the balance for this experience that, for<br />

the first time in Italy, combines the school and<br />

real productive workplace in a training cycle<br />

lasting three years. The Project continues<br />

up to the 2010 - 2011 academic year and aims<br />

to introduce the students to the workplace<br />

and to take full advantage of the technicaltechnological<br />

and metallurgical vocation<br />

of the Province of Brescia through specific<br />

company training. The Project exploits the<br />

possibility of using 20% of the total number<br />

of hours available per year in the framework<br />

of the law that disciplines school autonomy,<br />

to introduce important subjects and topics<br />

in the education curriculum in order to train<br />

the students also from the working point<br />

of view. The project’s innovative strength<br />

is represented by the fact that it organises<br />

the education-training plan by using the<br />

METRA Group’s facilities, becoming part<br />

of the Company’s real production activities<br />

and by operating on cutting edge plants and<br />

equipment. More specifically, the lessons<br />

focused on the techniques involved in<br />

studying the features and the processing of<br />

non-ferrous materials, and in particular, of<br />

aluminium.<br />

As emphasised by Mr. Giampaolo Mantelli,<br />

the former Councillor for Education of the<br />

Province of Brescia, and by prof. Franco<br />

Ferrante, Executive Manager of the Provincial<br />

School Education Office of Brescia, in their<br />

presentations in the press conference<br />

organised in the Rodengo Saiano centre, the<br />

project has anticipated the content of the<br />

recent High School Reform, approved by the<br />

Council of Ministers at its first reading.<br />

METRA has worked together with the 28<br />

participating students of the III, IV and V<br />

classes (specialising in Mechanical, Electrical<br />

Engineering and Information Technology),<br />

with its own consolidated experience in the<br />

extrusion sector, and with theoretical lessons<br />

in the classroom and practical lessons “ad<br />

personam” organised directly in the Rodengo<br />

Saiano plant.<br />

The students from the Galvani Technical<br />

College entered the gates of METRA’s plant<br />

in Rodengo Saiano (Bs) for eight weeks, one<br />

week every month from October 2008 to May<br />

2009, to attend the in-plant apprenticeship<br />

course supervised by a tutor, and coordinated<br />

Didattica in Fabbrica<br />

number one<br />

A settembre si riparte con il secondo anno<br />

del progetto di formazione triennale Didattica<br />

in Fabbrica, implementato dell’esperienza acquisita<br />

e di alcune novità, come anticipato nella conferenza<br />

stampa dello scorso giugno.<br />

La chiusura dell’anno scolastico 2008-2009<br />

ha coinciso con quella del primo anno del<br />

Progetto Didattica in Fabbrica, in cui 28 studenti<br />

dell’Istituto Tecnico Industriale “Luigi<br />

Galvani” di Brescia hanno lavorato a fianco<br />

di METRA. Lo scorso 12 giugno si è tenuta la<br />

conferenza stampa conclusiva del primo anno<br />

di sperimentazione, con il bilancio di questa<br />

esperienza che, per la prima volta in Italia,<br />

affianca scuola e realtà produttive in un ciclo<br />

formativo della durata di tre anni. La finalità<br />

del progetto, che prosegue fino all’anno scolastico<br />

2010- 2011, è quella di avvicinare i ragazzi<br />

al mondo del lavoro e mettere a frutto<br />

la vocazione tecnico-tecnologica e metallurgica<br />

della provincia di Brescia attraverso la<br />

specifica formazione aziendale. Il Progetto,<br />

nell’ambito della legge sull’autonomia scolastica,<br />

usufruisce della possibilità di utilizzare<br />

il 20% del monte ore annuo per introdurre<br />

nel piano di studi curriculare materie ed argomenti<br />

importanti per la formazione degli<br />

allievi anche dal punto di vista lavorativo. La<br />

forza innovativa del progetto è organizzare il<br />

piano didattico-formativo utilizzando le strutture<br />

del Gruppo METRA, inserendosi nella reale<br />

produzione dell’azienda e operando su<br />

impianti e attrezzature all’avanguardia. Nello<br />

specifico le lezioni hanno riguardato le tecniche<br />

relative allo studio delle caratteristiche<br />

e alla lavorazione dei materiali non ferrosi e<br />

in particolare dell’alluminio.<br />
