We believe access to modern tech skills should be practical and attainable.
In Italy, funding pathways can look different depending on your region, employment status, and the type of programme you’re looking for. Some initiatives are designed for jobseekers (often through regional employment services), while others are activated by employers to support workforce upskilling.
Below you’ll find a clear overview of common Italy-relevant funding routes (where available). Because eligibility rules vary and calls open/close throughout the year, we recommend booking a call so we can help you identify the most realistic next step for your situation.

Programma GOL (Garanzia di Occupabilità dei Lavoratori)
A national employability and reskilling programme linked to Italy’s PNRR and delivered through regional services. Depending on your profile and region, GOL pathways can include training (including digital skills) as part of a personalised plan.
Regional Training Vouchers (PR FSE+ / FSE+)
Many Italian Regions publish calls financed through the European Social Fund Plus (FSE+) that provide training vouchers (“voucher formativi”) for upskilling. Availability, eligible profiles, and application procedures vary by region and by open calls.
Garanzia Giovani (Youth Guarantee)
A national programme managed regionally that supports young people with opportunities including training and work-related pathways. Eligibility typically depends on age and status, and the specific measures can differ by Region.
Fondi Paritetici Interprofessionali (Employer-funded Training)
If you’re employed in Italy, your employer may be able to finance training through Interprofessional Funds dedicated to continuous workforce development. These funds typically support structured training plans and are activated by the company.
Fondo Nuove Competenze
A measure aimed at companies that want to reskill employees by dedicating part of working hours to training. The programme supports workforce upskilling (often in digital and green transition areas) under specific rules and application windows.
Credito d’imposta Formazione 4.0 (for companies)
A tax credit designed for companies investing in employee training linked to digital transformation skills. Rules can change by year and legislation, so it’s best assessed by employers together with their advisors and the official guidance.
