Former Italian Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, joined policymakers, education stakeholders, and young people at the Conference on Youth Policies hosted by Rome Business School (RBS), where discussions focused on the future of younger generations, education, and employability.
The event, held at Rome Business School, featured Conte alongside the institution’s Founding President, Antonio Ragusa, MBA-LLM. Both leaders explored pressing issues affecting youth development and the importance of creating pathways that support career growth and professional opportunities for young people in Italy and internationally.
Central to the conference was the theme, “National Youth Card: The Key to the Future,” which examined political and sociological perspectives on the evolving challenges, expectations, and needs of younger generations. Speakers highlighted how access to quality education can play a transformative role in shaping careers, enhancing employability, and equipping youth for global opportunities.
The conference attracted more than 115 young participants, including Rome Business School students and representatives from various youth associations. Discussions emphasized the growing significance of education in preparing young people for changing labour markets and leadership roles in an increasingly competitive global environment.
Organisers noted that the event reflects Rome Business School’s broader commitment to empowering younger generations through education and professional development initiatives.
As one of Italy’s leading business schools, RBS stated that its mission extends beyond academic instruction to fostering inclusive and innovative leadership, promoting ethical values, and developing future managers capable of becoming global business leaders.
The conference further reinforced the role of educational institutions in supporting youth aspirations and addressing the skills needed for long-term career success in a rapidly evolving world.
