Abstract

This work analyzes the evolution of university placement services in Italy from their emergence to our days, with particular attention given to the objectives, aims, available services and professional competences involved.Particular attention will be focused on the developments that such services will need to undergo in order to facilitate young people's transition to the workplace, and on the networks that need to be created between the different job market operators, in order to help the planning of university educational courses in line with the needs of the public and private workplace, and in order to create services capable of realizing work systems useful for job placement, such as, for example, higher-level apprenticeship contracts or the certification of job contracts.If university is a multi-product enterprise capable of producing research and of training young people as high-level human capital, university placement services become a strategic service of the universities for placing on the market one of their outputs, that is, their graduates, in the best possible way.The enhancement of placement services can be a strategy for the Italian universities that wish to achieve positive results in performance indicators linked to employment and employability.
