“FormaTech”

The general objective of the "FormaTech" project is to provide (re)qualification programs in predominantly in-demand occupations, specialization programs to update technical skills relative to the introduction of new technologies and the acquisition of the principles of the "green" economy, together with the development of organizational skills in order to streamline operational management systems. Career counseling activity helps people make informed decisions about their careers and maximize their potential, counseling being an interface between the education and training system and the labor market, which it dynamically tries to synchronize.
