Italy: Eurocultura

Eurocultura is a no-profit research, training and career counselling organization set up in 1993.

Our key competences are related to the labour market and training issues. Our projects and activities are aimed at preventing unemployment by improving the employability of young people, women and workers at risk of expulsion from the labor market; at the promotion of international mobility of students and workers, at preventing and fighting against racism and prejudices, in supporting the environmental care.

Our activities:

International projects: focused on issues as vocational training, career counselling, employment, youth, migrants, women, granted by different European Programs.

Career guidance: we provide career advice and guidance to people seeking an experience abroad to implement their professional and personal skills in an international environment. Our career guidance sets up an individual pathway that leads to an international experience starting from the detection of customer’s needs, potentiality and aims.

We cooperate with academic institutions, high schools and vocational training centers, youth information centers and private and public employment offices providing lectures and seminars for career services officers, aimed to improve professional knowledge and competences in career guidance with an international perspective

Traineeships in Vicenza: Transnational mobility for the purpose of acquiring new skills is one of the fundamental ways in which individuals, particularly young people, can strengthen their future employability as well as their personal development. Since 1995 we are intermediate organization for international trainees in the frame of Leonardo Mobility and Erasmus placements programs. We provide initial intensive Italian language and culture course and then work placement in a local company. Programs are lasting from 3 to 32 weeks.

Working area: Eurocultura headquarters are in Vicenza, but we work all over Italy and in other European countries (mainly Germany) giving seminars and lectures about our key competences (career counselling, international mobility etc).
