Abstract

Continuing Vocational Training (CVT) seems to be at the core-attention of decision-makers in Italy after years. It is going through a season of transformations, also because of the launch of a set of new policy measures, most recently those included in the National New Skills Plan and the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. CVT is therefore experiencing an extremely articulated situation, consisting of no less than eight national policy measures managed by different public administrations (both central and local) and many actors and stakeholders at various levels. Numbers, of participants and interventions, also show the recent increase of CVT relevance. However, a number of issues remain unresolved: the equity of access to corporate training; the North-South areas gaps in the distribution of training supply; the resistance to change and modification of organizational models and practices; the effects of pandemic on corporate training choices and strategies
