(ANS - Rome) - Training and work are an important combination: young people go to school to study and learn knowledge that will be the basis on which they build their professional career and acquire the ability to stay in the workforce. Some schools have a period of work experience in preparation for this step.  It is an opportunity for young people to begin to confront the adult world through the learning of a trade, and the development of social skills in the work context. The Reception Centre for Minors at Borgo Ragazzi Don Bosco is implementing this strategy.
