"I started working from a young age in the family business, without having the opportunity to complete my studies. Graduating with a bachelor's degree has always been a goal of mine. With Gioya, I found an international institute that not only recognized the skills acquired in more than 20 years of work, but also prepared a personalized curriculum for me, both in the skills to be acquired and with the flexibility needed for someone like me who has many job responsibilities."

"I joined Gioya to integrate my skills in a changing world, out of curiosity and not to stop learning (I already have a degree). Unlike other situations, Gioya provides me with an agile path, extremely flexible and tailored to my content and time needs. The content learned is really new and interesting, also in the way it is presented by lecturers trained for this kind of approach."
