Pratiche intergenerazionali di formazione nelle organizzazioni

  • Claudia Banchetti

Starting from studies in the Pedagogy of Work and Organizations, which can be integrated with research on active ageing, this paper aims to understand intergenerational training practices within organizations. To investigate such practices, an Information and Communications Technology organization was analysed. The study, conducted between 2021 and 2023, examines intergenerational practices in the workplace through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. The data, coded through thematic analysis, show that in this context it is important to support training pathways that: a) value and formalize the situated knowledge of senior workers, as they know and recognize organisational practices; b) enhance intergenerational differences within the company through training tools; and c) strengthen the social and professional entrepreneurial spirit within the professional community.
