Alternation in the Reformation of School
Alternation is defined by law as
A way to realise the vocational course planned, carried out and evaluated
by the school in cooperation with businesses, with the representative
bodies and with the Chambers of Commerce, so as to assure to young
people, besides the basic knowledges, the acquisition of expertises
spendable in the labour market
“”
The new basic role given to the Chambers of Commerce by the Reformation of School
The article 4 of the Law of Reformation of School, n. 53 of 28 March 2003, acknowledges and gives for the first time, in matter of Alternation School - Work, a basic role to the Chambers of Commerce, next to businesses and their representative bodies, as subjects to be involved in planning, carrying out, evaluating the vocational courses, as well as potential subjects of agreements to receive students in vocational training.the Equalization Fund of the System of Chambers.
After that, in the month of July 2003 a Registered Agreement was signed, on a national level, between the Ministry of Education and the Union of Chambers, from which Operational Agreements have been issued in all the Italian Regions (but for Valle d’Aosta) between Regional School Offices, Schools and Chambers of Commerce to experiment Alternation Courses financed together by the Ministry and Commerce.
The legislative decree n. 77/2005
The legislative decree of 15 April 2005 defines the general rules concerning Alternation School – Work, as a way to realise the courses of secondary school, both in the system of lycées and in the system of education and vocational courses, for students aged 15 (art. 1)

Points of strength
Graduality, flexibility and adaptability of the models and of the courses experimented in function of the several specificities
Creation of a network among the subjects in the area
Acknowledgement of the role of the Chambers of Commerce as “simplifiers” for Alternation
Approach and more mutual knowedge between the world of school and the world of businesses
Usefulness and validity of the training courses for workers
Points of strength
Enrichment of abilities of the students
Satisfaction and greater motivation of the students towards the school activities
Satisfaction of parents for the enrichment of the teaching offer through the experiences in business
Vocational value of the seminars/moduls of “guidance and business culture” for the students (most of all on the first year of Alternation aimed at fifteen year students)
Value of the activities in business from the point of view of the school and vocational guidance
Realisatrion of experiences concrete in businesses focussed on the actual work needs of the area
Criticalities and points of weakness: the experience in schools
The experience of training is felt as an opportunity only by some teachers meeting hostility of the remaining teachers
There is a cultural resistance of some headmasters in experimenting innovative teaching methods
The extra – curricular activities of schools are sometimes so numerous to make “jams” or there are no priorities estabilished
Schools complain about little finances for Alternation
Difficulties of integration between business abilities and traditional teaching come out
Complexity and time consistenza temporale of the planning
Little knowledge by teachers of the business world
Criticalities and points of weakness from the businesses: the difficulties in finding the businesses
Expenses for businesses connected to the organisation costs and to the scarsità lack of resources to dedicate to the teaching activity (major difficulties in areas where is a larger presence of very small businesses, for the difficulty to let a person from the staff to follow the trainee)
Difficulty to let labour participate in the teaching activities for preparation and sensitization for business tutor
Little motivation and consciousness of the businesses (cultural resistance by some businesses which see the training as a waste of time and resources)
Little perception of the importance of preparing a potential worker
Perception by the businesses of little usefulness of training for a short period (less than 30 days)
