The strategic evolution of AI: training and new skills for a 'made in Emilia-Romagna' methodology

Project description

In a context of continuous and rapid technological change, the training project to develop specialised skills in Artificial Intelligence was a strategic cornerstone for Symboolic. Structuring the programme allowed the company to develop a proprietary methodology aligned with the specificities of the Emilia-Romagna Region, strengthening its competitive position and capacity for innovation.

Objectives

Symboolic's distinctive approach — focused on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), human-centric design and strategic intelligence methods — made it essential to design and launch tailored, up-to-date training paths. The project aimed to structure a programme that would progressively strengthen employees' technical and strategic skills, aligning them with emerging market needs and with the sustainability and inclusion goals of the regional smart specialisation strategy (S3).

Results

Through the project, Symboolic defined a precise onboarding process for new talent, mapped existing and required skills, developed dedicated training modules, and implemented AI-based digital tools for continuous, personalised skills monitoring. Further benefits so far include an early improvement in productivity and employee satisfaction, greater attractiveness to qualified talent, and raised awareness of digital inclusion and reducing the gender gap.
