ALMA: training and work experience abroad for young people not in work or education

A European Social Fund scheme for young people aged 18 to 29 who are not in employment, education or training: first a period of training in Italy, then 2 to 6 months of supervised work experience in another EU country, and finally help to find a job when you come back.

Who runs itRegions, municipalities and organisations with an ALMA project funded by the European Social Fund Plus
How to applyNot directly to the European Union: you answer the selection call of an ALMA project in your Region or city

How it works, step by step

  1. 1 · Look for calls in your area

    ALMA calls are published by Regions, municipalities and training providers: ask at your local job centre (Centro per l'impiego) or Informagiovani office, or search for «ALMA» on your Region's website.

  2. 2 · Check the requirements

    Age, residence, how long you have been out of work or education, any basic skills required.

  3. 3 · Apply

    There is usually a form and an interview; each project has only a few places.

  4. 4 · Prepare and go

    The training in Italy often includes a language course; then comes the experience abroad with a tutor.

Questions

Do I need a qualification?

Usually not: ALMA is designed precisely for people who have had a harder path. The call says so.

Are there calls all over Italy?

No, only where a Region or an organisation has an ALMA project: that is why it is worth asking at the job centre.
