FonARCom calls for training funds to take on wider employment role

At a ceremony in Rome marking FonARCom’s 20th anniversary, its president, Andrea Cafà, called for Italy’s interprofessional training funds to take on a wider role.

These funds currently finance training, and Cafà wants them to help deliver active employment policies for workers and businesses.

He said this would require stronger cooperation with Italy’s Labour Ministry and regional governments.

FonARCom says it has a network of 800 training bodies across the country.

Cafà also said the fund was ready to extend its support to more groups, including business owners.

The event focused on continuing training in the age of artificial intelligence, but no decision on the proposal was announced.
