Excellence and Innovation
There's a concept of Made in Italy that doesn't just travel on cargo ships or in elegant designer packaging, but is also rooted in skills, training, and human capital. It's that vision of "know-how" that PA360 Training on Skills champions every day.
Today we are proud to announce a milestone that celebrates this very vision: Michele Petrone , our Founder & CEO, has been awarded the prestigious America Innovation Award – IV Edition .
A prestigious institutional recognition
The America Innovation Award is an award of excellence promoted by the Italy-USA Foundation , an institution that works to foster ties between the two sides of the Atlantic.
The official awards ceremony will be held on April 9, 2026, in Rome , in the solemn setting of the Chamber of Deputies . Receiving an award in such a prestigious institutional setting is not only an honor for Michele, but also a confirmation of the value of the work done by the entire PA360 team.

Teamwork
Receiving the America Innovation Award is an incentive to do even better.
Innovation isn't a finish line, but an ongoing process. This recognition belongs to the entire PA360 community: to those who believe that training is the engine of change and to those who, every day, choose to invest in their talent. Michele Petrone (CEO)
However, teamwork is at the core of soft skills, fostered by collaboration, networking and sharing. After all, we human beings are social creatures!
Far from being exhaustive, this list should also include another skill we often overlook— lifelong learning, which entails the constant need for learning and upskilling, embracing open-mindedness, and being curious about diversity, different cultures and perspectives.
Working on soft skills means encouraging improvement across the cognitive, emotional and motivational levels—even through innovative methods.
Therefore, it involves facilitating personal and professional growth and development so as to be competitive and make progress in our lives and careers.
Towards new goals
April 9th will be a day of celebration, but also a time to look ahead and offer increasingly cutting-edge content to our partners and students. Because, as we like to say at PA360, the only innovation that matters is that which translates into new skills.
