Business and training needs study

A national survey to align skills, training and real needs of businesses.

The Corporate and Training Needs Study, sponsored by the Study and Research Center of the National Co.N.A.P.I., scientifically analyzes the mismatch between labor demand, professional profiles in the market and training supply, one of the main critical factors of the Italian production system. The research is aimed at businesses as a whole, with a particular focus on artisans, micro and small enterprises, which more than others experience structural difficulties in finding adequately qualified personnel.
