ONE MASTER, ONE DISTRICT: WHY ITS EYEWEAR MATTERS FOR THE REGION
The ITS Eyewear Product Manager Master is not just another course. It is the result of years of collaboration with companies in the Eyewear Valley, with a clear objective: to train professionals who are ready to enter leading eyewear companies not after months of adjustment, but from day one.
Based at Palazzo Bembo in the heart of Belluno, and equipped with advanced prototyping and design laboratories, the program offers 1,800 hours of training over two years, including 720 hours of guaranteed internships within the district’s leading companies. Since 2018, 144 students have completed the program, undertaking a total of 245 internships with top players across the supply chain.
The most significant result is not only the number of participants, but what happens afterward: in the last three editions (2023, 2024, 2025), students from the program have been awarded at the MittelModa International Lab for excellence in eyewear design, competing and winning against creatives from around the world.
HOW TO APPLY: A NEW, FLEXIBLE ADMISSION PROCESS
For the new training cycle, Fondazione ITS Academy Cosmo is introducing a fully redesigned selection process aimed at lowering access barriers without compromising candidate quality. Fixed application windows have been replaced with a year-round, three-step process: candidates can upload the required documents at any time via www.itscosmo.it, complete an online selection test with maximum flexibility, and attend a final interview with the admissions panel, scheduled directly with the candidate.
A new approach designed to bring candidates even closer to a program that offers a direct gateway to the job market.
