Operational details
The agreement fits into an economic landscape in which, according to the source, one out of two companies records serious difficulties in finding the professional figures it needs for its productive activities. The initiative is not limited to a mere programmatic intent, but translates into an operational model based on dual training, which facilitates the insertion of young people into the productive system. The involvement of Api Servizi alle Imprese, in the person of its CEO Roberto Di Francesco, guarantees the provision of specific know-how in training and apprenticeship, essential for building tailor-made paths that respond to the real needs of the small and medium-sized enterprises associated with Confapi.
