XVI Rapporto sulla Formazione Continua in Italia — ISFOL Questi, alcuni dei dati più salienti, del XVI Rapporto sulla Formazione continua in Italia, realizzato dall’Isfol per conto del Ministero del Lavoro e presentato ieri presso la sede del Cnel. “Un lavoro molto ricco”, ha sottolineato Stefano Sacchi, introducendo i lavori della giornata. Il Rapporto – ha proseguito il Commissario straordinario dell’Isfol – evidenzia il divario che ancora esiste tra il tasso italiano di partecipazione e il target fissato dalla UE, ma i passi in avanti che sta compiendo il nostro Paese sono rilevanti. Tornando ai dati del Rapporto, illustrato da Davide Premutico, Ricercatore Isfol, emerge che sul piano finanziario la necessità di rispondere all’impatto della crisi economica ha comportato il trasferimento di consistenti quote dalla formazione continua agli ammortizzatori sociali in deroga, per un valore complessivo che nel periodo 2009-15 ha raggiunto oltre 1 miliardo di euro. Le conclusione della giornata sono state affidate al Sottosegretario, On. Highlights

Becoming a consultant | Proposal Writing | Funding Research | Knowledge Base | Tools For the right person, working as an independent consultant can have many advantages, including setting one's own schedule and priorities, working with a variety of clients, and developing a wide range of personal skills and experience. However, like any start-up, launching your own consulting business involves some financial risk and a great deal of personal commitment. While working independently often provides for greater personal freedom, it may also involve an inconsistent workload and an unpredictable income. Consultants must be well-organized and self-disciplined in order to effectively manage their time and resources while working with several different clients at any given time.

Five myths of quant consulting November/December 2010 Caution before entering: Misconceptions abound in fascinating field. By David Lengacher For a lucky few, the field of quantitative consulting provides the type of catalyst-environment that keeps engineers and operations research analysts continually challenged, perpetually seeking a deeper understanding of the their client’s problems and the governing dynamics that created them. Myth No. 1: My solutions and reccommendation will sell themselves. This myth is painfully familiar to those who transitioned from more qualitative management consulting fields to quantsulting. The reality is that the amount of time spent preparing presentations in management consulting is virtually identical to that of quant consulting. Myth No. 2: The hardest part is solving the problem. New entrants into quant consulting are continually amazed by the fact that their clients cannot tell them what they want to investigate or solve. Myth No. 5: I will get rich in consulting.

Welcome by the Rector Politecnico di Torino is known both in Italy and abroad as a leading institution to study engineering and architecture. Tradition combines with innovation to make its campus a stimulating environment offering a wealth of opportunities. Our university has around 32,000 students, with 50% from outside the region and about 15% who are foreign - the highest percentage in Italy. Our degrees are internationally recognised and students can choose to follow degree courses taught in English or, thanks to our links with some of the most prestigious universities around the world, undertake periods of study abroad as part of their course. Students choose Politecnico di Torino for its established reputation, for being highly selective and sometimes even "tough". The "Cittadella Politecnica" is a new campus area where research, teaching and training go hand in hand with local and student services as well as financial and cultural activities.

The Academic Consultant--Why Start a Consultancy? Over the past year, I made the decision to begin my own business as a consultant in sport science support and environmental ergonomics. On top of a booming research lab and a full teaching load, not to mention a growing young family, why would I take on this new venture? Simply put, the excitement of starting a new venture is too much fun to pass up and an excellent opportunity for personal growth. I love being in academia and am nowhere near giving it up. However, the entrepreneurial spirit that I believe lies within all academics made starting a business a relatively natural extension of my growth as a researcher. That, plus the desire to directly apply research knowledge, pushed me toward setting up an independent consultancy. In the first of this on-going series of articles for Next Wave, I will examine the reasons for and against setting up shop as a part-time consultant in your field of research. The most obvious advantage is taxation.
