Impressions and images from Belpaese
Be up-to-date, get prepared. What a credible and powerful slogan. Unfortunately it doesn't exist, it has just been created on this web page to recall how Italy decided to do to boost economy: refresher courses. We already talked about (see chapter 4 of this section), underlining how a good idea will risk to produce harmful effects just because of new rules nonsense application. Journalists offers a clear example of what Italy is about. Obliged to follow refresher courses they are not free to choose. Let clarify that's something comprehensible before going on. Of course, in order to avoid people presenting every kind of activity to be certificated as updating it has been specified no any activity will be considered valid. So, just certain courses will be considered valid. The point is there still no clear evidence on what these certain courses are. The only thing certified are points, or credit points, to be collected with refresher courses. Every course has a variable number of credit points, and journalists have to reach a fixed amount of credit points within three years. Ok. How? Paying to follow courses. Here we are. Welcome to the dark side of professional orders reform.
Of course there are courses for free, but most of them are not. And of course is the journalist himself who has to pay to be up-to-date. If you believe media and information enterprises are going to invest on their workers please let it go. Italian government have always worked for industry and never for citizens. FIAT is the best example ever, but let come back to our main topic and take an Italian journalist working abroad for Italian media. If that man follows a language course in order to know and improve the knowledge of the language spoken in the country he's working, isn't it perhaps a refresher course? The answer, given by Italian authorities, is simple: yes it is, but it doesn't provide any credit point. Amazing! In other terms there's training and training. Of course that one which bring money to non-Italian institution is not valid, even if it helps Italians in dealing with Italian labour market. And those courses making richer Italian subjects who are organized by? Nice question, but here the point is another. How is it possible a correspondent abroad has no recognized languages course as a work tool to be certificated? I tried to ask to journalists in order to have answers for this paradox, but you know, journalists are busy with their courses and their points hunting.
