This article aims to explore, from a pedagogical perspective, the non-academic tertiary education system in Italy, with a particular focus on the educational pathways provided by the Higher Technical Institutes (ITS Academy). After a brief overview of the regulatory framework governing the creation and evolution of ITS, the study focuses on analyzing three specific cases located in Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto, operating respectively in the fields of tourism, sustainable logistics, and mechatronics. Through semi-structured interviews conducted with former students, professional teachers, and company tutors, the strengths and challenges of the ITS model are examined, especially regarding the crucial role of internships.
L’ articolo si propone di esplorare, con uno sguardo pedagogico, il sistema di istruzione terziaria non accademico in Italia, con particolare attenzione ai percorsi offerti dagli Istituti Tecnologici Superiori (ITS Academy). Dopo una breve panoramica sul quadro normativo che ha disciplinato la nascita e l'evoluzione degli ITS, la ricerca presenta un'indagine qualitativa su tre casi specifici situati in Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna e Veneto, operanti rispettivamente nei settori turismo, logistica sostenibile e meccatronica. Attraverso interviste semistrutturate con ex-studenti, docenti professionisti e tutor aziendali, vengono esplorati punti di forza e criticità del modello ITS, in particolare sul ruolo chiave del tirocinio nell'integrazione fra teoria e lavoro e sul riconoscimento sociale del diploma rispetto alla laurea universitaria.
