This is a very important issue you're raising @Giacomo Bosio. Supporting students to transition toward the labour market should be at the top of the agenda of the university's/centers' priorities. Though in terms of slogan it is repeated everywhere, what I've witnessed is that in reality there are many shortcomings.
From my modest experience of managing a Career Center during 6 years, I can would say that once you create a department/ center for career services it is already a very good step in the right direction. In our case, after two years of existence as a career center, we were able to improve students integration to the job market by 12%. Still, I belive we can do better! I've been to a Career Center in USA for one week and the first two things which striked me are the human and financial resources allocated to it, and second the fact the manager of the career center occupies a top position at the level of the university.
My recommendation is that if we wish career center to fulfill their mission, they should be endowed with the same resources which are offered to traning or research and developement. They also should be involved in the strategy and be a dynamic part of the learning experience. As one of my colleagues in the business said: "The mission of career services is to value what is being taught."

Thanks to Adrijana Hodak for the travel advice.

Thank you and I got everything. Looking forward Lida

For my part I would like to thank all the participants, I think it was a very interesting and varied discussion. When business and government meet, there is always a risk that the differences of opinion will not be properly resolved. However, this time we managed to reach an agreement and put together the puzzle of the problem and its solution. It is always a pleasure to be there, where synergy and a common vision emerge from different opinions. It is obvious that only in efficient cooperation can each side succeed. I think that this result is largely due to the great examples of effective cooperation between business and education in the Netherlands and Estonia, for which special thanks go to our colleagues.
