Forma Mentis Academy: Innovation is Action

forma mentis academy

Il 30 Ottobre 2015 sono iniziati ufficialmente i “festeggiamenti alternativi” del 20° Anniversario di attività di Forma Mentis – Training Center, con un’iniziativa di Responsabilità Sociale d’Impresa che durerà ben 7 mesi.
Anziché celebrare con una classica festa, abbiamo deciso di dare un contributo allo sviluppo professionale di massimo 28 studenti grazie a un progetto formativo gratuito sulla progettazione BIM con Autodesk Revit.
Abbiamo incontrato i professori di alcuni Istituti Tecnici della Regione Lombardia, che si sono dimostrati entusiasti per l’opportunità offerta ai loro studenti dalla nostra iniziativa, che abbiamo chiamato InnovACTION Award 2015-2016.

– Luigi Santapaga, CEO di Forma Mentis.
