Escola Partners in Launch of New ITS Courses for Sustainable Mobility in Sicily
This November, ITS Academy InfoMobPMO in Palermo, with the support of partners like Escola Europea – Intermodal Transport, is launching two innovative post-diploma ITS Sustainable Mobility Courses Sicily. These programmes aim to equip Sicilian youth with the skills needed to thrive in growing industries and address the regional demand for qualified professionals.
The two courses are:
- Passenger Experience Onboard: Preparing students for careers in managing passenger services onboard ships, addressing the high demand for skilled professionals in the cruise sector.
- Ship Operations and Systems Management: Training future specialists in the operation of ships and the management of onboard systems and equipment.
- Transport Infrastructure and Vehicle Maintenance: Focused on optimising and maintaining transportation systems and related infrastructure, a critical area for sustainable mobility.
- Logistics and Intermodal Transport: Providing comprehensive training in logistics, intermodal operations, and the integration of transport systems to meet the growing need for skilled professionals in this field.
All courses combine classroom learning with hands-on internships in local companies, offering students a fast track into the workforce. As part of the training, students will participate in courses led by Escola Europea – Intermodal Transport, focusing on intermodal logistics and sustainable transport solutions. This collaboration ensures graduates receive practical, industry-relevant expertise that prepares them for careers in the evolving mobility sector. It is important to note that the Port Authority of Palermo, a key member of Escola Europea, plays an integral role in these initiatives, contributing its expertise in maritime logistics and supporting the hands-on training components.
“Collaborating with ITS InfoMobPMO allows us to contribute expertise in intermodal and sustainable mobility, providing students with practical skills for a dynamic sector,” said Marco Muci, Country Manager for Italy at the Escola Europea – Intermodal Transport.
With funding from the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), these ITS Sustainable Mobility Courses aim to strengthen connections between education and industry, creating opportunities for local youth while boosting Sicily’s economy.
