Useful info

At the end of the training course, participants who have attended at least 75% of the course will receive the official Università Cattolica Open Badge, a digital credential that represents an innovative form of sharing the skills acquired. Thanks to Blockchain-based technology, the open badge is uniquely associated with each individual user, allowing them to build a personal page for the presentation of their digital curriculum (e-Portfolio) and share their achievements with all their contacts.

Those who will accrue 75% attendance - and have worked adequately at the LAB - will also receive a certificate of participation indicating the positive passing of the final discussion.

Certification of skills: an additional opportunity for our trainees

 

Thanks to an agreement with CEPAS, a company of the Bureau Veritas group, the students of the XXV edition will be able to participate (subject to verification of the access requirements) in the certification exam of skills in the field of sustainability, taking advantage of a special rate. 

 

CEPAS certifies professionals in the field of Sustainability according to the UNI/PdR 109.1:2021 Practice which defines the following two profiles:

  • Sustainability Manager: professional who carries out managerial management activities of sustainability in the company and corporate social responsibility
  • Sustainability Practitioner: professional who develops and manages sustainability at an operational level.
