Activities such as group sessions, workshops on workplace safety and ethical work practices will also be provided. Participants will learn about employment opportunities available in their field of interest as well as active policies available in their local community.
During this event industry experts and business leaders such as Luigi Rizzolo, Vincenzo Silvestri, Luca Paone and Enrico Limardo will share their insights on the current job market and career development opportunities in Sicily.
