(Adnkronos) - De Luca: “Le carenze strutturali che abbiamo riscontrato richiedono senz'altro un'azione sinergica e coordinata di tutti gli operatori del sistema educativo, dalle università, alle istituzioni, alle aziende, ma anche il terzo settore, soprattutto le famiglie”. Lo ha detto Alessandro De Luca, Public Policy Leader di Deloitte Italia, alla presentazione del report “Osservatorio STEM 2024 - Empowering the multiple transitions through STEM skills”, lo studio, realizzato da Fondazione Deloitte e dal Public Policy Program di Deloitte.

00:00The structural deficiencies that we have encountered require a synergistic and coordinated action
00:09of all the operators of the educational system, from universities, institutions to companies,
00:16but also the third sector and above all families.
00:19Only in this way can an effective action be proposed.
00:22Moreover, from this point of view, what we have found in the Observatory
00:27is that there are still elements of contrast to the achievement of a greater dissemination of these skills.
00:34In particular, there are cultural obstacles that, for example,
00:39as regards the evidence of the relationship, in one case out of two,
00:43lead young people to believe that they do not undertake educational and professional paths of STEM
00:50because they consider them too complex or simply do not feel comfortable.
00:55In this context, we have tried to identify levers of intervention, levers of action,
01:02which, in coordination with all the operators of the system, the agents of change,
01:08can intervene effectively to spread this type of skills,
01:12skills that are essential to face the great challenges that we are facing globally,
01:19from the digital and ecological transition to the themes of great transformations
01:25and innovation at the level of artificial and generative intelligence.
01:30In particular, I would focus on some aspects that we find particularly relevant.
01:36One of the elements that we have found to be decisive is to propose role modelling
01:44of people who have undertaken STEM training courses, in particular girls,
01:50and who have had professional success in their careers.
01:54However, also in this case, one out of two young people, both students and workers,
01:58tell us that they believe a lot in role modelling.
02:01Another important element is to enhance the orientation in schools and universities
02:07towards this type of training courses.
02:12In this sense, we have also seen that there are aspects that companies and young people
02:18consider particularly important.
02:20For example, as regards the supporting elements of STEM skills for large transitions,
02:2775% of companies are convinced that these skills are fundamental
02:34as regards elements that promote innovation.
02:38As a matter of fact, 9 out of 10 students and workers consider these skills
02:44decisive in driving the green transition,
02:47and 7 out of 10 companies believe that these skills are essential
02:54to achieve their decarbonisation goals.
