The course examines the most significant legal institutions about the management of individual and collective working relationships. The course follows a practical approach, exploring relevant case-law and collective agreements' structures and contents. Specific focuses are dedicated to new and innovative issues emerging from the last reforms (jobs act) and the covid-19 crisis. The course prepares for professional careers as an HR manager, labour consultant and other similar positions.

Learning will be verified with an oral exam on the main topics. Workshops about case studies and activities within the Experior projects (only for attendance students) can be taken into account for the final exam (1/3 of the final mark for each activity).

Teaching is organized in: a) lectures and discussions with active and critical participation of the attendances to develop interactive learning (materials will be available on the e-learning platform of moodle.unive.it before the classes); b) thematic insights to be presented and discussed individually or by small groups during the classes (for attending students) or during the final oral exam (for non-attending students - in case they ask for this option by e-mail during the first three weeks of the classes); c) possible Experior project (https://www.experiorproject.it/ ).
