Programmes for high-school students and new high-school graduates
Our commitment towards new generations as a founding value of our Group, also develops through initiatives aimed at students from high-school and the newly graduated from high-school.
Sharing the know-how, telling the story of the infrastructure sector, and developing the skills required by said sector, all represent an important occasion for Webuild to contribute towards professional orientation and personal growth of the people during this stage of their journey. Aiming at strengthening the dialogue between schools and the work arena, creating opportunities, and developing skills, starting from 2023, Webuild began various initiatives collaborating with Technical Institutes in the territories where it works.

High-School students - Initiatives and Webuild programmes
Build Up
We believe in the importance of training the next generation to successfully meet the challenges of the working world. This is why, through the BUILD UP programme, we offer high school students the opportunity to develop the skills required by the large infrastructure sector.
BUILD UP is Webuild's Transversal Skills Development Programme for CAT, Mechatronics and Geotechnical Technical Institutes in Italy.
In the first two editions of the programme, school years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, the initiative involved 48 schools bringing closer a total of 2300 students to the world of large-scale infrastructure.
Participating in Build Up means having the opportunity to apply technical knowledge and skills in a construction site context, guided by industry professionals. Build Up provides students with practical experience and an opportunity to develop the skills needed to meet the challenges of the working world.
"Adotta una scuola" (Adopt a School) project
In 2023, we activated the 'Adopt a School' project (Adotta una Scuola) in cooperation with Skilla, already a Webuild partner for digital training.
The initiative brings corporate training through eLearning culture to Italian institutes, and has enabled us to make a catalogue of digital learning resources available to students, teachers and headmasters of the Istituto Tecnico CAT (Costruzioni Ambiente e Territorio) Carlo Bazzi in Milan, aimed at developing the skills of our resources.
The "Adotta una Scuola" and "Build Up" projects are part of the activities promoted by the Group that aim at favouring the employment of young talent, like the "Next-Gen" initiative that, through the collaboration and partnerships with schools and universities, promotes professional training paths.
