Associazione Scuole tecniche San Carlo

The “Associazione Scuole Tecniche San Carlo” is one of the oldest vocational education institutes in Italy. Complying with its tradition of excellence, the San Carlo Technical Schools offer young people, workers and firms, courses in artistic craftsmanship. The school believes that investing on the artistic patrimony of the territory means also investing on new working perspectives. It doesn't deal only with restoring "ancient works", but also with bringing jobs to new generations who often have limited visibility and poor image but high contents of professionalism.

The courses are designed to meet the needs of every user, from teenagers in compulsory education, to unemployed seeking job opportunities, to employees who wish to develop their skills.

The headquarters of Turin is organized as a European style campus, with laboratories, classrooms, well-stocked library, comfortable conference room equipped for projection and multimedia presentations, computer labs with Internet connection, lounge dining room and large green area. The main hall of the structure is fully air-conditioned, equipped with the most sophisticated multimedia conferencing systems with video projection and control room for performers and simultaneous translation, available for meetings, conventions, conferences and other educational activities.

The association has eight branches located throughout the region linked with local companies to ensure also the continuing existence of craft industries of the area, innovating and expanding the range of products of art.

From 2001 “Capodopera” is the magazine of art and Craftsmanship, created in cooperation with the “Association of Former Students” and “Antica università dei Minusieri”.
