Open Fiber ed ELIS they inaugurated one new aerial at the POP (Point of Presence) of Roma Tiburtina, within the campus. The students of the ELIS specialization course for fiber optic splicers will be able to train in a simulation space that reproduces the urban and rural environments in which the fiber is laid with manholes, poles and building facades.
Over 50 units real estate in the connected area, 12 hubs of optical fiber technologies created by the wholesale operator in the capital. The devices of all the operators that provide services on its network and already allow you to connect further today 330 thousand units housing for a total of approx 900 km of new infrastructure so far built in the Rome area.
The collaboration between Open Fiber and ELIS has been going on for years, in numerous initiatives aimed at training and youth employment. For example, the program of school-work aimed at over 200 high school institutes through classroom teaching activities with professionals and training experiences in real work situations. Or the project School Business System 4.0, dedicated to the processes of transformation of teaching and orientation to the jobs of the future.
"The training of the specialized resources employed on our construction sites is a fundamental node for achieving the country's ultra-broadband coverage objectives - he declared Elizabeth Ripa, CEO of OF -. We strongly believe in this challenge and, thanks to the collaboration with ELIS, we have for some time been directly committed to ensuring the labor market figures capable of responding to the needs of our suppliers. To date we have connected 11.7 million real estate units and the goal is to reach around 20 million: we therefore continually need new qualified personnel to build a network which, in this difficult year, has demonstrated its full resilience by allowing workers and students to continue and their activities without interruption. We are proud that OF supports ELIS students in this important phase of personal and professional growth.
Peter Cum, CEO of ELIS underlined the importance of creating more bridges between training and businesses because "dialogue with the world of work serves to define professional profiles, to plan courses accordingly and to transfer skills rather than notions".
