I take this opportunity from Ludovica's post to raise a question about which always lacks clarity in the answers.
What are the paths that a conservatory graduate (now a degree holder) should take to be able to work, and what are the requirements? Aside from concert careers, I believe there are essentially 3 paths.
The first is state and private middle schools.
The second concerns musical high schools (licei).
The third is teaching at the conservatory.
Coming to the questions... What are the requirements case by case? By requirements, I mean the academic qualifications and/or artistic curriculum to be possessed.
The second question concerns the places where to submit applications and the relative forms (always case by case).
I believe it would be very useful to post directly here on the forum the forms to be filled out with relative downloadable instructions. Is there someone who can once and for all provide clarity? I imagine that the teachers (Frank, Zedef, ScalaQuaranta, and however many others want to participate in the discussion) certainly know something about it. I would be very grateful if you would enlighten me/us...
Thank you in advance

Regarding positions in public administration, first of all, a competition announcement is required. Without it, it's as if there were no job demand.
For positions in private schools, it is better to have many connections because you never know when a Teacher is needed, and by the time you find out, the position has already been assigned...
thanks for the trust, but I am not among the most reliable on the subject since it would now be a job just to understand what to do... every year the situation changes a bit, regarding what Ettore writes, it might be useful for you to read this article from Orizzonte Scuola.

For state middle schools, there will be the three-year update of the rankings (graduatorie) in the coming months. For private schools, there should be—but I haven't followed this for a few years—a sort of double channel: direct application to the institute and provincial rankings.
For musical high schools, there is a triple channel. Teachers in role for their instrument in middle schools can request utilization; those who lost positions in music education in high schools can do the same; then every school has three-year rankings to cover vacant positions.
I didn't even know that a 'certification' existed. What would that be?
In short: you don't just have to know... but you also have to know how to teach what you know
Practically, they are teaching courses referred to in a thousand different ways, but in its latest form, it goes from PAS ... excuse the pun... let's laugh about it for a bit, it's better
Zedef will correct me, but PAS are training courses to obtain teaching certification, aimed at school teachers with fixed-term contracts who have served for at least three years in state and private schools.
For A077, then it needs to be clearly understood how the relations with A032 work; some info taken from the Milan Conservatory website (aa 2012-2013):
At this point, what I haven't understood is whether any kind of qualification is required to teach composition at a conservatory (or equivalent/private institutes). Thanks in advance
To teach in a Conservatory, there is no such thing as a professional qualification. In fact, there are teachers who teach, perhaps on contract, without possessing the diploma.
The recruitment mechanisms became "rusty" this summer and God only knows if there is a magic oil that can unblock them.
First, while waiting for competitions that have not arrived since 1990, there were three-year institutional rankings in which a certain number of artistic points were required (24, at the discretion of individual commissions) and those who were eligible in the top positions could aspire to a substitute position. In parallel, ad hoc rankings emerged for those who had meanwhile obtained certain requirements: Law 143 (2005, with a sort of preference in calling for substitutes after teacher transfers; from this, about 250 teachers entered permanent roles this year while another 250 were left out, at least for now) and now the former 128 (2013, a mechanism that will include in a single national ranking those who possess 3 years of fixed-term/contract teaching).
Now, therefore, a large part of the annual substitute positions will be assigned through 143 and ex-128: the head of the AFAM department in June invited Conservatories not to issue calls for either new institutional rankings or for the updating of existing ones "so as not to generate expectations in aspirants that cannot be met."
Thanks Zedef, because I think TheSimon should take this into account as I didn't understand from his post what he was aiming for (Conservatory, Lyceums, secondary schools, lyceums, etc.), although by asking about the rankings, the question is directed towards excluding conservatories.
From my point of view, reading your post, it makes me feel depressed
Practically, a graduate (actually a UNIVERSITY GRADUATE)) cannot aspire to any kind of professional outlet, not even in the much-criticized teaching sector.
I believe he/she could aspire to a position as a Sound Technician (or similar) in Conservatories. In recent years, before the axe fell with Law 128/2013, it was one of the most sought-after teaching positions (in the sense that several calls for applications were released). Probably in the coming years, assignments of this type will resurface again...
The teaching of Musical Technologies in Music High Schools should also be evaluated (especially if one holds the qualification for A031).
My inclination was actually towards conservatories rather than music high schools, also because although it has been spoken about, a ranking list has never been seen. It almost seems as if they want to hide them; nothing is publicized, and one never knows anything when it comes to discussing available teaching positions.
