New intelligent management systems
Now in its fourth edition, Rising Youth is a project born from the collaboration with SAP Italy, a leading company in the sector of IT solutions for businesses. The objective is to help students acquire and strengthen the digital and transversal skills necessary to face the challenges and continuous changes of the job market and to reflect on the professional opportunities offered today by the digital transition.
