DISENEX: Giorgia Scaduto | Founder of 'Voglio Asilo', Italy
Giorgia is from Palermo. She decided to become an entrepreneur because of her family which influenced her choice of profession.
After her Bachelor, she proceeded to study clinical psychology in parallel with a business. Before joining the family enterprise, she was working as an educator in different facilities for years, including foster homes for minors.
She has also been involved in European projects related to the social field. Today, in cooperation with education professionals, she is still engaged in various activities and research work.
Giorgia joined the family business five years ago. Prior to it, her mother and aunt have been running it together for years. After finishing an Erasmus Program in France, Giorgia wanted at first to live life on her own, but finally, came to the idea of joining the family business and making her contribution to its well-being. When it comes to bureaucratic and administrative-related tasks, their enterprise also receives support from the Federazione Italiana Scuole Materne (FISM).
Giorgia is happy to be part of the family business, though she had to get over hard times, especially in the beginning. Gradually, she had more satisfaction and gained the trust of the team. Learning from the mistakes and experiences of her older teammates, Giorgia gained confidence and motivation, and could get her professional skills grown. A positive attitude of the parents and children they work with lets her move forward and feel in the right place.
