Level II Master Programme

MASTER IN CABLE SYSTEMS FOR THE ENERGY TRANSITION

Together with the University of Palermo we are offering a high-level training program to develop the key skills needed for electrification and the future of energy infrastructure.

The growth of electrical infrastructure and the acceleration of the energy transition are driving demand for increasingly specialized skills and a new generation of highly qualified professionals. In this context, Prysmian announces the launch of the Level II Master Programme “Cable Systems for the Energy Transition” focused on power transmission cable systems and developed in collaboration with the University of Palermo.

The one-year program is designed as a highly professional course, developed in close alignment with industry needs and based on a comprehensive end-to-end approach. Participants will gain expertise across the entire lifecycle of cable systems — from design and manufacturing to installation, operation, and maintenance — with the goal of enabling fast and effective entry into the job market.

The program will start in November 2026 and will combine theoretical lessons, practical activities, and technical site visits. Students will also have access to internship opportunities at Prysmian and partner companies. The syllabus also includes the study of advanced technical and methodological solutions and incorporates international standards and recommendations to ensure that students gain skills that are immediately applicable in global contexts. Applications will open in July, while the selection process will take place in September.

The Master benefits from contributions by professors from the University of Palermo, alongside visiting professors from other European universities and industry experts, including Prysmian professionals. This integrated training model combines academic excellence with industrial expertise.

The initiative aims to address one of the key challenges identified at European level: the growing difficulty in finding talent with advanced technical skills in the electrotechnical field, particularly in cable systems. This shortage affects the entire energy value chain, involving both grid operators and technology providers, making investment in human capital development more urgent than ever.
