Trentino, the stunning alpine region of Italy, is actively recruiting for the upcoming summer season, offering opportunities in both the tourism and agricultural sectors. A novel initiative aims to connect businesses quickly and effectively with individuals seeking professional experience in the region, promising not just employment but a chance to build a life amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Dolomites and Lake Garda. The campaign, launching in May 2026, focuses on attracting qualified professionals and fostering a culture of legal and safe work practices.
The demand for skilled workers is particularly high as Trentino prepares to welcome visitors and manage its renowned agricultural production. This push comes as the region seeks to maintain its high standards of hospitality and quality, while also addressing labor needs in key industries. The initiative isn’t simply about filling positions; it’s about attracting individuals who see Trentino as a place to develop their careers and establish a long-term presence. Opportunities range from hotel and restaurant roles to vineyard work and livestock management, offering a diverse range of experiences for prospective employees.
Tourism Sector: A Focus on Hospitality Excellence
The “Il turismo trentino cerca te!” (Trentino Tourism is Looking for You!) campaign specifically targets professionals and aspiring operators in the hospitality industry. Roles available encompass a wide spectrum of services, including culinary positions, bar staff, housekeeping, wellness specialists, and front-office personnel. According to the Agenzia del Lavoro, the goal is to ensure visitors continue to experience the exceptional quality Trentino is known for. The initiative also aims to attract individuals who view the region as more than just a workplace – a place to grow both personally and professionally, with some positions offering accommodation as part of the package.
Agricultural Opportunities: “Lavora in agricoltura, vivi il Trentino”
From May to October 2026, the focus shifts to the region’s agricultural heartland. The “Lavora in agricoltura, vivi il Trentino” (Work in Agriculture, Live in Trentino) campaign offers opportunities in fruit harvesting, grape picking, vineyard maintenance, small fruit cultivation, and livestock management. This initiative is the result of a strong agreement between the Agenzia del Lavoro and leading agricultural associations – CIA, Confagricoltura, Coldiretti, and Associazione Contadini – along with the Ente bilaterale and trade unions. A key priority remains the promotion of legal and safe working conditions, with collaboration with the local section of the “Rete del lavoro agricolo di qualità” (Quality Agricultural Work Network) of INPS to combat illegal employment and promote the “Buon lavoro” (Good Work) project, ensuring transparency and worker protections.
Streamlined Application Process for 2026
A significant update for 2026 is a more dynamic application process. Candidates seeking work in Trentino’s tourism or agricultural sectors will have access to a system that provides prioritized access to relevant job offers. Once a candidate completes a form with their data and preferences, they will receive direct proposals aligned with their profile, allowing for immediate application to interested businesses. The Agenzia del Lavoro’s team of experts will also continue to monitor profiles for targeted interviews, maximizing opportunities for placement. All applications submitted will remain active and valid until August 31, 2026.
Support for Businesses Seeking Staff
Agricultural entrepreneurs and tourism operators also benefit from a streamlined process. Through a dedicated form on the Agenzia del Lavoro website, they can request pre-selected profiles based on their specific needs. They will then receive support from consultants at the relevant Employment Centers to develop an effective recruitment strategy. More information on the application process for candidates and the services available to businesses can be found on the Agenzia del Lavoro website: for the tourism sector and for the agricultural sector.
As Trentino prepares for a busy summer season, this coordinated effort to connect workers with opportunities underscores the region’s commitment to both economic growth and the well-being of its workforce. The success of these campaigns will likely shape future labor strategies in the region, potentially serving as a model for other tourism-dependent areas. The ongoing collaboration between government agencies, industry associations, and unions will be crucial in ensuring a sustainable and equitable labor market in Trentino.
