L’Alternanza scuola-lavoro: metodo formativo e di orientamento al lavoro

The aim of this thesis is the analysis of educational values of work-related job, according to the new laws of Italy and Europe. This method, according to the Italian law n. 53 of the 28th of March 2003, is spreading to try to solve the youth unemployment. In this perspective this law along with other laws are trying to link the different activities in the school to the education on the job, to better improve the students’ learning. In the first part of the thesis I will try to explain the meaning of the law 53/2003, which has designed the principles of the relation between the school and the job. This relation will be studied also in the successful laws and, in particular in the school’s law, the so-called “Buona Scuola”. In this last law the work-related job has been improved in its structure. In particular in this law there are two “important tools” which must be examined: the apprenticeship and curriculum internship. Through these tools the school can favour the possibility for the young people to find a job. This has happened through these three models of apprenticeship: the apprenticeship for the professional bachelor, the apprenticeship for the job, the apprenticeship for the post-degree education and for research. The conclusion is based on the comprehension of strong and weak points of this problem
