School-to-Work Training 2026: First Project with ITIS Scano Launches
Saras has collaborated for many years with middle schools, high schools, and universities through testimonials, meetings, and field activities, offering young students both specialized technical content and orientation tools and concrete opportunities to explore the world of energy and industry. These experiences integrate knowledge, direct contact, and a broader perspective, helping students better understand the relationship between business and the local community and make more informed decisions about their future.
Within this framework, the School-to-Work Training 2026 program was launched in February 2026, in collaboration with the D. Scano State Industrial Technical Institute in Cagliari. The program, which concludes in April, involves 63 students—one fifth-year and two third-year students in the “Energy Mechanics” and “Mechatronics Mechanics” courses—and offers structured experience on the topics of energy, safety, and the professions present in the sector.
The Project
The project is divided into three complementary phases, designed to offer students a progressive and concrete vision of the world of energy.
The first phase took place at Sardeolica (a wholly owned subsidiary of Saras and dedicated to the development of renewable energy sources), at the Ulassai wind farm, where students learned about the operation of wind farms, their design elements, and the criteria for their integration into the local area. The meeting illustrated the role of Saras and its subsidiaries in the development of local energy infrastructure and highlighted the ways in which an industrial plant generates economic and cultural activity in the area. Discussions with technicians brought attention to key issues such as plant maintenance and workplace safety.
Next Steps
In the coming weeks, the program will continue with a day dedicated to the Sarlux refinery, offering students the opportunity to explore the site’s main production processes and the safety systems that regulate its daily operation.
The visit will also illustrate the refinery’s strategic position in the national energy landscape and the role of the IGCC plant, which contributes significantly to the stability, security, and reliability of the Sardinian electricity grid.
It will be an opportunity to understand how technology, technical expertise, and safety measures integrate into a single, complex industrial infrastructure of high value to the region.
Finally, the final day, scheduled for late April at the Scano Institute, will be dedicated to reviewing the content covered and discussing the soft skills—collaboration, problem-solving, awareness, and adaptability—that are increasingly important in young people’s career paths.
