The Almalaurea Interuniversity Consortium, founded in 1994 by a group of researchers from the University of Bologna, was created to facilitate the entry of graduates into the labour market, thus easing getting in touch with companies.
The University of Cagliari is among the 80 universities adhering to the consortium; twice a year the Almalaurea carries out two reports on the Profile and Employment Status of graduates at 1, 3 and 5 years from graduation, thus offering a complete outline valid up to the individual course of study.
The data are collected by graduates themselves and are returned to the participating universities, the Ministry (MIUR), the National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research System (ANVUR), as form of monitoring on the university and post-university system, in order to optimise the design, monitoring and evaluation of decisions taken by universities.
Almalaurea offers orientation tools, services, information and opportunities for peer-to-peer dialogue as well, in order to enhance the educational path and facilitate integration into the labour market.
Moreover, on the Almalaurea portal the graduates’ CVs are collected and consulted online: this facilitates the meeting between demand and supply of qualified work.

The common objective of the two types is to encourage the acquisition of professional skills and encourage integration or reintegration into the labour market.

The higher education and research apprenticeship is an employment contract that is activated in agreement with the university, aimed at students enrolled at the university or post graduate.
In addition to work, the apprentice carries out research on topics of interest to the employer. This type of apprenticeship can also be used to write the thesis in the business field.
The apprenticeship in agreement with the university allows young graduates to carry out the period of practice in order to access to the professions organised in orders.
The apprentice is an employee, and his pay is governed by the employer’s collective agreement.
How long does the apprenticeship last
The minimum duration is six months.
The maximum duration varies according to the type of apprenticeship:
- higher education apprenticeship is completed when the apprentice obtains the degree;
- research apprenticeship ends when research is completed (maximum period: 36 months);
- the maximum duration of the apprenticeship for admission to the professions organised in orders is linked to the completion of the certificate of completion of the admission to the State examination.
How to start an apprenticeship
- the employer and the University sign a protocol;
- the university tutor draws up the individual training Plan, with the employer’s involvement;
- the employer hires the apprentice.
During the apprenticeship course, the training tutor and the company tutor collaborate in compiling the individual dossier of the apprentice.
After the apprenticeship
At the end of the apprenticeship period, the employer and the apprentice may freely withdraw from the employment relationship.
In the absence of withdrawal, the relationship continues indefinitely.
Apprenticeships in Public Administrations.
Until December 31, 2026, with apprenticeships, administrations can recruit young graduates up to 10 percent of their hiring capacity, 20 percent for municipalities, unions of municipalities, provinces and metropolitan cities. The contract, with a maximum duration of 36 months, provides for placement in the area of civil servants. Upon expiration, permanent employment is provided for those who have received, complete with a reasoned report, a positive evaluation of their service.
Method of recruitment: through competitive procedures. After special notice published on the recruitment portal of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers - Department of Civil Service (www.inpa.gov.it), the proceeding administrations establish the requirements for the purpose of admission to the competitive tests, which are of two types: a written test, also with theoretical-practical content, and an oral test.
Reference legislation: DM December 26, 2023
With regard to the identification of students/ae under the age of 24, who have completed the examinations provided for in the study plan, to be hired on a fixed-term basis with a training and employment contract, the University of Cagliari, like the other universities, is evaluating the possible organizational arrangements to be implemented.
