Tirocinio
Il tirocinio professionalizzante è collocato al terzo anno di studio, occupandolo quasi interamente, ed è uno degli elementi caratterizzanti il corso di laurea.
Nello specifico, durante il tirocinio le studentesse e gli studenti potranno affiancare una o più figure professionali, dal Responsabile della Qualità al Responsabile della Produzione, dal Responsabile del Marketing al Responsabile degli acquisti, etc., per acquisire conoscenze e competenze utili per il successivo inserimento nel mondo del lavoro.
Il tirocinio consentirà, quindi, di applicare in un ambito produttivo reale quanto acquisito durante la formazione in aula e in laboratorio, confrontandosi con i diversi ruoli aziendali che potranno poi essere ricoperti durante la carriera lavorativa.
Le ditte che hanno espresso interesse ad ospitare i tirocinanti sono un esempio dell’ampio panorama del settore alimentare, abbracciando molteplici settori, da quello lattiero-caseario a quello dolciario, da quello dei prodotti da forno a quello dell’industria delle carni, dal settore delle bevande a quello della Grande Distribuzione Organizzata (GDO).
Per orientare la scelta di studenti e studentesse verso la realtà aziendale e la figura professionale più vicina alle specifiche preferenze e attitudini, verrà organizzato uno specifico workshop di incontro, durante il quale le aziende disponibili avranno modo di presentarsi e di conoscere i futuri tirocinanti, permettendo alle parti interessate (studente/ssa e impresa) di confrontarsi e trovare l’abbinamento migliore per soddisfare le esigenze e le aspettative di entrambi.
Di seguito si riporta l’elenco alfabetico delle aziende che, alla data odierna, hanno dato la loro disponibilità ad ospitare tirocinanti del corso di laurea ad orientamento professionale “Innovazione e sostenibilità nella produzione industriale di alimenti” (LP02).
