An orientation portfolio — not another PCTO spreadsheet
The 90/150/210 hours of PCTO end up in spreadsheets that get lost. University choices get made on a hunch. InTransparency keeps PCTO in an auditable ledger and gives the student a portfolio that follows them into university.
We connect people and values.
Built on the actual work of coordinators
PCTO-compliant
Law 145/2018 · MIM guidelines
90 hours at liceo, 150 at tecnico, 210 at professionale. Track conventions, hours completed, evaluations, and the formative project per student — ready for USR monitoring.
Evidence-based orientation
DM 328/2022 · 30 hours of orientation
The 30 hours of orientation (from year 3) generate data on interests and skills. The student picks a university knowing what they've actually done and how much they liked it — not just what they think they'll like.
Four modules for the PCTO → Orientation → Diploma cycle
Doesn't replace your electronic register — it covers what the register doesn't: student portfolio, real work, university choices. Discipline-aware AI reads project work the way each track needs — liceo humanities and science differently from tecnico engineering, differently from professionale trades. Free Core read-only; Premium unlocks writes and automations.
PCTO Ledger
Convention, hours completed, company tutor + school tutor evaluations, formative project. Auto-generated paperwork and per-student remaining-hours calculator.
Orientation Insights
The 30 orientation hours generate data on observed aptitudes and skills. Export the orientation dossier for family meetings and class councils.
Portfolio Portability
When the student enrols at university, the portfolio (PCTO, projects, languages, certifications) follows them. Partner universities in the network read the verified data — the high school keeps existing in the student's CV.
Family Communications
Parents (for under-18 students) get access to the PCTO ledger and digital consent for conventions. No more paper forms forgotten in backpacks.
For under-18 students: digital parental consent for every PCTO convention, profiling off by default, GDPR-K (Art. 8) active. The school is the data controller — we are processor only.
PCTO hours you don't lose anymore
A 600-student high school manages around 90,000 PCTO hours per year across licei, tecnici, and professionali. Tracked per student, not per class — at the university interview the data needs to be accurate for that specific kid.
| Track | Students | Required hours | Completed | Catch-up needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liceo Scientifico | 180 | 90 hrs | 97% | 5 students |
| ITT Computer Science | 210 | 150 hrs | 92% | 16 students |
| IPSIA Maintenance | 85 | 210 hrs | 88% | 10 students |
Sample data. Your workspace shows real classes with drill-down per student, convention, and evaluation.
The dossier the student takes to university
When a graduating student enrols at university, the verified portfolio follows them. Here's an example of what the university receives at registration — and why it changes the orientation interview.

How high schools use InTransparency
Ready for the next school year?
Activate the workspace before September. The first PCTO hours start counting from year three — better to structure now than chase conventions in May.
