Welcome to our office!
The Grottaferrata office provides PFI (individualized training programs) for young people with disabilities aged 18 and over. It is located on Via del Grottino snc in a 19th-century farmhouse surrounded by greenery and cultivated fields in the Castelli Romani area.
The school's teaching methods make extensive use of outdoor spaces and emphasize individual personal growth. As with all Capodarco Formazione training programs, these programs include internships in the workplace. Activities both inside and outside the school are carefully and consistently planned by the faculty, following a structured and organized path that identifies the specific needs of each student and supports their personal strengths and aspirations.
CFP Grottaferrata
A historic farmhouse in the heart of the Castelli Romani
The Grottaferrata CFP campus is nestled amidst vast cultivated lands and was created in close connection with the agricultural landscape of the Castelli Romani. This allows for the integration of student development with recreational and educational outdoor activities, including experiences specifically related to the world of agriculture. These are structured into a highly effective experiential program for individual development, alternating with traditional classroom training to enrich it with experiences otherwise impossible in other contexts.
The 19th-century building accommodates students with three classrooms, one of which is also equipped with computer stations.
The student's protagonism at the centre
The main attention is paid to welcoming and continuous listening, placing the student's protagonism at the center in his journey of personal change, aimed at social and work inclusion. In addition to the teaching modules required by law, the teaching staff undertakes on a daily basis to:
- Addressing the emotional and affective components in the class group.
- Provide tools for greater awareness of personal resources and limits.
- Encourage and broaden individual interests and peculiarities.
- Develop a sense of belonging to the group.
Social, emotional and professional focus
The training process aims to combine new content with students' pre-existing skills, facilitating the connection between new knowledge, personal experiences and interpersonal relationships. This approach, defined as a social-affective-professional matching, promotes the personal interests of each student, increasing their self-esteem through laboratory experiences and internships, and promoting personal autonomy.
The teaching staff and tutors work to activate expectations regarding the future, reviving personal resources also through general learning. The main task is to channel students' energies to develop useful skills to overcome daily obstacles, thus improving self-esteem and personal well-being.
Training courses for young people with disabilities
What are PFIs?
PFI are courses specifically designed for young people with disabilities. In our case we welcome students between 18 and 29 years old and guide them on a personal path, characterized by a real training internship in a working environment.
Individualized training courses
Training courses for children with disabilities
Training courses for young people with disabilities are also known as PFI, or Individualized Training Paths.
Young people with disabilities often encounter difficulties in finding work. This happens both in the world of work and in personal education and training. Precisely for these reasons, the professional system of the Lazio Region has established the PFI, an acronym which stands for Individualized Training Paths.
These courses are customized to the needs of the individual student, are free as they are completely financed by the Lazio Region and always include a work placement.
How do PFIs work?
The courses for young people with disabilities are divided into three phases.
- Introductory interview: first it is necessary to discuss to best evaluate the candidate's possibilities and compatibility with the course activities
- Common route: the candidate included in the courses begins a path common to all students which covers basic skills and notions
- Individual path and internship: the young student is guided towards the most suitable path, also participating in a training internship that is very important for his growth
