Specifically, the cooperation will call for, among other activities, the opening of a window of the Regional Employment Agency at the Monfalcone shipyard, the promotion of internships within the company and the subcontractors, as well as orientation initiatives. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the activities detailed in the protocol, a joint working group will also be set up. It will consist of no more than three representatives for each of the signatory parties and, when deemed necessary, it will be open to other players of training organizations, schools, universities and technical-professional centers of the region.
