Argentina

Talent doesn’t always arrive fully formed. But if we’re willing to train, support, and believe in people, we won’t just grow our companies, we’ll grow our country. Let’s shape a future of education driven by the needs of industry and powered by strong alliances. The future of work is ours to build, together.

There is no challenge more urgent, or more valuable, than training the people who will bring the future of our industries to life. As SMEs, we can choose to be spectators or protagonists of change. At Tassaroli, we chose to get involved, to build bridges, and to put knowledge at the service of our community.

We know the mismatch between what industries need and what the education system provides is not unique to Argentina: it’s a global issue. That’s why we believe the solution doesn’t lie in waiting or blaming, but in stepping up. As employers, we must create connectors, projects, and spaces that accelerate learning and align with real industrial needs. The future must be built through partnership - between education and industry, supply and demand - not from distance or opposition, but through collaboration.

Every skill I acquired this year was through my apprenticeship at the GAN. I have gained knowledge regarding the framework of youth labor insertion, and I am very interested in the field; this has solidified my career choice. As a team . . . we have worked together toward every step GAN Argentina has taken since its launch and we are very proud of our achievements.

My initial expectations focused on acquiring tools to deal with different situations that might arise. However, I ended up gaining a much broader understanding of how to organize training plans, support young people, and build shared guidance across departments. The course helped me see that much of the success of workplace-based learning depends on the relationship between the parties involved—and that young people can feel supported when those around them have the right tools to guide them.

I believe that what contributed most to my relationship with the young people was knowing that they could see that the person acting as their tutor had also received specific training to support them responsibly.
