PCTO

The PCTOs (Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation), formerly known as school-work alternation, are a fundamental element of the educational offer of Italian high schools, aimed at students in the last three years.

The main objective of PCTOs is to integrate theoretical learning with practical experiences in real work contexts, in order to provide students with a more complete and in-depth view of the world of work and its dynamics. This guide explores the structure, duration, and organization of PCTOs, offering a detailed overview of these training paths.
