Overview
The Invest Your Talent in Italy program has as its fundamental objectives the attraction of international talent, the promotion of the Italian university system, and the enhancement of the entrepreneurial realities of our territories.
Details
Every year, we offer scholarships for Master's degrees and Postgraduate courses in the fields of Engineering and Advanced Technologies, Architecture and Design, Economics, and Management. The courses are taught entirely in English, but each student's program includes the study of Italian language and culture and a mandatory internship in an Italian company or trade association representative of the region.
Now, in its 21st year, the Project is updated with each edition to offer the best to students, universities, and the Italian business world, promoting the country's economy, nurturing the international connections that each talented individual brings with them, and looking toward growth.
Invest your Talent is the right place to reward academic talent and entrepreneurial excellence in Italy!
History And Mission
The Invest Your Talent in Italy program was launched in 2005 with the aim of promoting intercultural dialogue and fostering understanding and integration among the younger generations.
Over the years, more universities have embraced the program's mission, offering a rich and up-to-date range of courses to provide foreign students with rewarding and successful opportunities. Similarly, more countries interested in building bridges between their most promising students and Italy have joined the program. Finally, companies and trade associations return every year to welcome Invest Your Talent students and train them for work through internships in line with the nature of the program's training and vocation.
Knowledge and professionalism are and will continue to be the main assets of Invest Your Talent in Italy, which currently includes 23 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, more than 20 universities, and contact with numerous Italian businesses.
