Selection will be based on a combination of factors, designed to prioritize those with the greatest need:

This initiative aligns with broader European Union efforts to promote social inclusion and combat unemployment, particularly among older workers. Understanding the ISEE calculation and gathering the necessary documentation is crucial for a successful application. Resources on ISEE can be found on the Italian government’s website (link to official ISEE information would be added here if this were a live article).
