Many of EURES' services (in particular EURES on-line services) are freely available for any user with access to the web. If you already live and work in the EEA territory or Switzerland, you can contact a local or regional EURES Adviser to get advice. However, finding a job via EURES does not change the legal obligations and administrative procedures that may apply to non-EU citizens.
If you intend to move from a non-EEA country (except Switzerland) to live and work in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, often your own Ministry of Foreign Affairs can provide you with information on legal requirements to move abroad or refer you to useful information centres.
Work in Italy’s mission is to assist Italian companies in attracting and recruiting qualified foreign candidates in sectors, where Italian companies face skills shortages.
EURES offers a network of advisers to provide the information required by jobseekers and employers through personal contacts. There are more than 70 EURES advisers across Italy and the number is growing.
EURES advisers are trained specialists who provide the three basic EURES services of information, guidance and placement, to both jobseekers and employers interested in the European job market. They have developed specialised expertise in the practical, legal and administrative matters relating to mobility at national and cross-border levels. Generally they work within the Public Employment Service of each Region, or within other partner organisations in the EURES network.

NEW- Important information for Italian companies in the sectors of road transport, construction and tourism-hotel, mechanics, telecommunications, food and shipbuilding and seasonal work.
Informazione importante per le imprese italiane nei settori dell'autotrasporto, dell'edilizia e turistico-alberghiero, della meccanica, delle telecomunicazioni, dell’alimentare e della cantieristica navale e lavori stagionali.
FLUSSI 2022 - Ingressi per lavoro e conversioni.
E' stato pubblicato sulla Gazzetta Ufficiale del 26 gennaio 2023, il DPCM 29 DICEMBRE 2022 con cui sono state fissate le quote dei lavoratori stranieri che possono fare ingresso in Italia per lavorare.
Il nuovo decreto autorizza un totale ingressi di 82.705.
Alla conferma delle semplificazioni introdotte lo scorso anno (asseverazione dei requisiti da parte di professioni e associazioni di categoria e "silenzio-assenso" sui nulla osta), si accompagna l'introduzione di una nuova procedura per verificare preventivamente che non ci siano lavoratori già disponibili in Italia. Le domande potranno essere compilate a partire dal 30 gennaio 2023 e inviate a partire dalle ore 9,00 del 27 marzo 2023, tramite il portale servizi del Ministero dell'Interno.
La preventiva verifica di indisponibilità di lavoratori già presenti sul territorio nazionale
Un’importante novità introdotta dal decreto flussi 2022 riguarda la necessità che il datore di lavoro prima dell’invio della richiesta di nulla osta al lavoro per i lavoratori non stagionali o non formati all'estero, verifichi presso il Centro per l’Impiego competente che non vi siano altri lavoratori già presenti sul territorio nazionale disponibili a ricoprire il posto di lavoro per cui si ha intenzione di assumere il lavoratore che si trova all’estero. Tale verifica va effettuata attraverso l’invio di una richiesta di personale al Centro per l’Impiego, attraverso il modulo predisposto da Anpal.
Alla richiesta di nulla osta, pertanto si potrà procedere solo se:
a) il Centro per l’impiego non risponde alla richiesta presentata, entro quindici giorni lavorativi dalla data della domanda;
b) il lavoratore segnalato dal centro per l’impiego non è per il datore di lavoro idoneo al lavoro offerto;
c) il lavoratore inviato dal centro per l’impiego non si presenta, salvo giustificato motivo, al colloquio di selezione, decorsi almeno venti giorni lavorativi dalla data della richiesta.
Il verificarsi delle suddette circostanze dovrà risultare da un’autocertificazione (qui il modello) che il datore di lavoro dovrà allegare alla domanda di nulla osta al lavoro.

Short overview of the labour market:
Short overview of the labour market
The Italian labour market differs widely between the regions. Industrial activity is mostly concentrated in the north, while people in southern regions mainly work in agriculture and tourism. The most typical sectors in order of GDP size (2021) are: services (GDP EUR 281 264 million), manufacturing (GDP EUR 76 359 million), construction (GDP EUR 20 261 million), agriculture (GDP EUR 7 729 million). The most common type of contract on offer is fixed-term (55.5%) and full-time. The qualification most requested is an upper secondary school diploma.
The last few years have seen a steady decline in the Italian population to a historical low in January 2022, with a total of 58 983 122 people residing in Italy. The number of people with foreign citizenship stands at around 5 193 000 (8% of the population) with a higher concentration in north-western regions. 46.3% of Italians reside in northern Italy, 19.8% in central Italy and 33.8% in the south and islands. The most populous regions are Lombardy, Veneto, Lazio, Campania and Sicily. However, the demographic crisis is most evident in southern Italy, particularly in Molise, Basilicata and Calabria.
After the negative effects on the economy caused by the pandemic, 2021 saw higher-than-expected GDP growth (+ 6.2%) and a continuous improvement in the employment situation until pre-crisis positions were restored. Compared to March 2021, the number of jobseekers decreased in March 2022 (- 16.6%) and the inactivity rate fell to pre-pandemic levels (34.5%). The unemployment rate stands at 8.30% compared to 9.3% in October 2021, while youth unemployment stands at 24.5% compared to 27.6% in October 2021. Unfortunately, as at January 2022, the percentage of NEETs (aged 15-29) is still among the highest in Europe (23.10%). Since April 2021, the labour force participation rate has increased by 1.2% to 65.5% in March 2022.
Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, the Italian economy has experienced signs of slowdown due to the uncertain outlook and the energy and raw material supply crisis. The sector showing the greatest reaction is the services sector, which recorded strong growth in May 2022 (+ 30% compared to the previous month), due in particular to the recovery of the tourism sector. The manufacturing and construction sectors have slowed down (- 4.4% and - 0.9% respectively), especially when compared to one year ago (- 18.8% and - 27.5% respectively).
The latest forecasts produced by the Excelsior Unioncamere/ANPAL Information System show a need for 1 531 450 workers for the period May to July 2022. Most of these (1 209 060) are required by the services sector (particularly business, tourism and catering services), followed by industry with 322 400 expected new hires, mainly in the manufacturing and public utilities sectors. The provinces recording the highest revenues are Rome, Milan and Naples, while those offering the most opportunities for young people are Trieste, Reggio Emilia and Cuneo.
A total of 444 310 new hires are expected for May 2022, of which most (126 690) will require a secondary education qualification. The most difficult roles to fill, however, are those requiring a tertiary level of education (45.5% of vacant posts), particularly in the field of dentistry (68.6% vacant posts), healthcare and paramedical fields (58.9%), and mathematical, physical and computer sciences (58.5%). These are followed by roles requiring a vocational qualification or diploma (43.5% of vacancies), particularly in the textile and clothing sector (72%), motor vehicle repair (68.8%), electricians (57.3%) and the well-being sector (56%). Roles that are difficult to fill requiring a secondary education level account for 39.3% of the total. Most jobs are available in the fields of mechanics, mechatronics, and energy (62.1%); electronics and electrical engineering (47.2%); IT and telecommunications (46%), and industrial and craft production and maintenance (45.2%).
GREEN ECONOMY
Investments stemming from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) will be important for the recovery of the Italian economy. In particular, ecological and digital transition actions will increase the demand for jobs in the green economy, IT and telecommunications sectors (‘green jobs’). The NRRP earmarks 37% of investment and reform expenditure to support climate objectives, and 20% to support the digital transition.
The budget for the green revolution and the ecological transition is EUR 59.46 billion. This covers the circular economy and sustainable agriculture (EUR 5.27 billion), renewable energy and sustainable mobility (EUR 23.78 billion), energy efficiency and building renovation (EUR 15.36 billion), and land preservation (EUR 15.05 billion). These investments will drive growth in employment across many economic sectors, but particularly in mechatronics (especially electricity and electronics), agri-food, fittings and construction. New sectoral supply chains will also be able to develop as resources are dedicated to technologies related to hydrogen, satellites, microelectronics, the development of a European battery industry, and the strengthening of cybersecurity and the Cloud. Finally, a new supply of goods and services will be developed in many segments, with primarily green and digital products, digital services related to telemedicine, smart mobility, electric cars, and sustainable mobility.
The greatest demand for green jobs will be in the following areas: for the construction sector, sustainable architects, designers of sustainable buildings and installers of low environmental impact air-conditioning systems; for mechanics, experts in electric motor systems and/or component technologies; for the environment, environmental IT specialists to develop environmental software and applications, environmental lawyers, mobility managers, energy managers and eco-designers. In addition, the number of professionals required with a mix of at least two e-skills (i.e. basic digital skills, ability to use mathematical and IT languages and methods and ability to manage innovative solutions) is estimated at between 875 000 and 959 000, more than 20% of the total. These include software analysts and designers, electronic and telecommunications engineers, programming technicians and network and telematic system operators.
