Working in Europe with EURES: job offers and help with moving
EURES is the European network of employment services: it has a portal with job offers from every EU country and advisers in Italian job centres too. Its mobility scheme can pay contributions towards interviews and moving abroad.

How it works, step by step
1 · Search for jobs
On the EURES portal choose the country and the job; you can also upload your CV so that employers can see it.
2 · Talk to a EURES adviser
At your local job centre or online: they will tell you whether the mobility scheme is open and what help you can request.
3 · Request the contribution before the interview
Help with travel and relocation must be requested before you leave, not afterwards.
Questions
Do I need to speak the language?
It depends on the job: the offer says so. The mobility scheme can pay a contribution towards a language course.
Are there traineeships too?
Yes, the portal also lists traineeships and apprenticeships; the conditions for financial help vary from project to project.
