00:00The world of training is currently referring to a key word, which is competence.
00:13We are facing a transitional challenge, many transitional challenges,
00:18and the only tool we have to try to manage this process is to add and have skills.
00:26Skills that are very much in demand from the market,
00:29but very often do not meet, do not cross the famous mismatch between demand and supply.
00:36A lot affects the world of the implementation of these innovative sectors,
00:43and so we are talking about STEM precisely for this reason.
00:45Technical and scientific subjects that, on the one hand, have a very good chance
00:51from the point of view of employment and also income,
00:54but on the other hand are not chosen by our young people because they are not well known
01:00and because there is perhaps a media gap on this, there is a communication deficit on this,
01:07that is, the great potential that these subjects have is not told,
01:11especially in the field of employment.
01:13There is a theme in the theme, because there is also a gender gap,
01:16that is, women choose, girls choose less,
01:20perhaps for a matter of prejudice, of stereotype, these subjects,
01:24which are always assimilated, however, to the most suitable for the male gender,
01:30rather than for the female gender.
01:32But we find that then, when women choose these subjects,
01:36instead they succeed and also reach the apical levels.
01:39There are many women who have marked the history of science,
01:43and these must be a model for girls, to tell young women,
01:47that they must and can choose the technical and scientific subjects.
01:50We wondered what the legislator, the legislator, could do about this,
01:56and we also responded that it was necessary to work on the communication deficit,
02:01that is, on the narrative.
02:02And then we instituted this week, which is the first national week of STEM subjects,
02:07from 4 to 11 February, it was already celebrated last year,
02:10this year it will be the second edition, it was a very successful edition,
02:14precisely to carry out activities of promulgation, of sensitization, of communication.
02:19We have intercepted across all the rings of the industry,
02:23from schools, of course, to universities, to teachers, and to the whole society,
02:28therefore from start-ups, companies, up to cultural places,
02:32to allow what we call the agents of change to go and influence,
02:37to go and tell the beauty of science, but also the potential that science has.
