2018 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT | RATTI GROUP
Ratti receives the stamp of quality for its school/work alternation programme
As confirmation that, as always, the company’s philosophy is built on the strong enhancement of its craftsmanship and that of the region, Ratti has received the stamp of quality from Confindustria for its school/ work alternation programme. The stamp rewards those businesses that stand out
for their development
of programmes of great substance and content while initiating, at the same time, valuable partnerships with the schools of the region. School/work alternation
represents an innovative educational model that, by offering concrete experience, helps to consolidate knowledge and tests young peoples’ attitude “in the field”. Specifically, in Ratti its aim
has been to encourage the circulation of know-how
and the birth of a common identity: not only through
the sharing of technical production knowledge, but also through the enhancement of entrepreneurial culture and identification with the interests of the local area. The journey undertaken has facilitated the
creation of a stable relationship, based on relations of mutual trust that will, in future, encourage the search for new forms of partnership and integration.
“I am convinced”, declares Angela Caccia, tutor of the project and Human Resources Manager at Ratti, “that the experience these young people have had will help them in their professional choices precisely because they have shared with their group the atmosphere that pervades
the company and they have learned to appreciate our art
and our values, acquiring an awareness of knowledge and abilities that up until now may have been dormant”. The stamp of quality received by Ratti is a further demonstration of the great synergy that exists between the group and schools, and which often manages to make a tangible mark on the experience of these young people by creating tailored projects that are also born out of mutual expectations. This recognition represents a further encouragement, for the Group, to continue to invest in the training and growth of people.

These eight talented young people, once their training course was complete, were asked to create a collection that could be brought to the catwalk, respecting production times, the complicated dynamics of the system and, last but not least, for the first time seeing how they measure up to the world of work.
