The campaign promoted by Microsoft and Telecentre Europe, in collaboration with the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Tesi Automazione, was was conceived to perfect and certify the competences of young people and promote their access to the job market thanks to 1.000 vouchers.
To date, 471 certification exams have been administered: 247 for the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification, which is also valid as university credit and public call points, and 224 for the Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) Certification, that attests IT skills that are highly desired on the job market.
Up to June 30, the following categories may take the Microsoft Certification Examinations at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym on Via Del Quadraro 102:
• Students, teachers and school personnel
• Social agents and operators
• Makers
• Knowledge Volunteers
The collaboration is an integral part of the YouthSpark Initiative and is the result of a long-term partnership between Microsoft and Telecentre-Europe to support youth employment and address the lack of technological competences on the job market.
The certification are available via the Microsoft IT Academy Programme that over the last 12 months has awarded 1.4 million certifications to students around the world.
Twelve testing stations are available from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 6 pm. On Saturday 21 and 28, testing times are from 3:30 to 8:30 pm. And you don’t need to sign up ahead of time!
