FREE SERVICES FOR REFUGEES
Employment Agencies offer, free of charge, an initial information session on the Italian labour market and working through an Agency to beneficiaries of international protection, temporary protection or special protection. During the session, the person receives guidance on services and benefits offered by Employment Agencies for people arriving in Italy.
The first service offered by the Agencies for beneficiaries of international protection, temporary protection or special protection is a Skills Assessment (BdC). The BdC is a fundamental tool that makes it possible to map the skills and analyse the individual characteristics of the person, in order to direct him/her towards the most suitable capacity development pathway (Basic Italian language and culture course, or vocational training course).
The Employment Agencies provide free basic Italian language, culture and civic education courses to beneficiaries of international protection, temporary protection or special protection. Trainees can claim reimbursement of accommodation and meals during the course and are entitled to a daily allowance of €3.50 per hour. At the end of the training a one-off allowance of €1,000 is paid.
The Employment Agencies shall provide beneficiaries of international protection, temporary protection and special protection with vocational training courses, free of charge. Participants can apply for reimbursement of accommodation and meal expenses during the course and are also entitled to a daily allowance of €3.50 per hour. At the end of the training course, they will receive an additional allowance of €1,000 (if not already received it at the end of the basic Italian language and culture course).
