The Chain of Knowledge is the new project born in Sampierana that focuses on women and their ability to succeed in passing on know-how. Actually, the story of this project stems from a broader idea that has since evolved, in part, into a different form.
It all started in April 2025, when we initiated a short Academy structured to give new Sampierana recruits an introductory training course before arriving directly in the workplace.
The Academy has been structured as follows:
- Planning a half-day assessment session for the evaluation of thirteen candidates through group exercises, practical tests, and individual interviews.
- Selection of eight candidates chosen to attend a 3-day pre-employment training course.
The training course had three specific focuses:
- Specific technical training conducted by Mariani Nicolas our Technical Trainer;
- Security training;
- Welcome on board and passive on-the-job shadowing, where each employee was assigned a buddy/tutor.
The eight candidates selected included five men and three women, and it was the latter who were the first protagonists of the project.
The title ‘Chain of Knowledge’ is intended to represent the transmission of knowledge and experience among the women working in the company.
The idea is to create a chain of people, where each woman is connected to the previous and the next, symbolising the transmission of knowledge.
The objectives of the project are to bring out the knowledge and experience transmitted among women and to highlight their role and importance in the mechanical engineering sector.
Underlying it all is the desire and will to create a sense of community among working women.
