The number of occupied among those who have earned a IeFP qualification, the paths of Education and Professional Training. TO three years from the achievement of title, in fact, is busy on 67,7% of qualified and 71,5% of graduates. This is what emerges from Fourth investigation on the outcomes of the IFTS and IeFP courses of Inapp (National Institute for the analysis of public policies) which analyzes, in particular, the situation of young people leaving IeFP (qualified and graduates) at the end of January 2020, 3 years later from the attainment of the title. Good results, therefore, waiting to find out how the "Made in Italy high school" will be organised.
“This is a further step forward compared to the already considerable values recorded two years earlier, respectively of 62,2% and 69,2%. THE VET pathways probably represent the meeting place most promising among world of education and the world of work. This is also demonstrated by the data on the level of coherence between the work carried out and the training process and those on the degree of satisfaction of the employees themselves" said Professor Sebastian Fadda, president ofInapp.
Inapp: "employability" effect: even if not employed, you remain active
In addition to the employed, the IefP paths also generate a “employability” effect, i.e. even if you are not actually busy you stay still active. This is the case for 28% of graduates: with 14% looking for work, 8,7% in training and 5,3% engaged in other activities. This is also the case for the qualified: with 9% of young people in training, 4% engaged in various capacities (internships, civil service, etc.) and 3,4% looking for their first job. The share of inactive people, among those who have obtained a degree, does not exceed 1%. The share of is very high foreign graduates which exceeds 77% of the employed.
How to find work
In the survey it is also analyzed through which tools young people have found work. The main channel consists of the contact with the employer on personal initiative, which involved 46% of qualified people and 52,2% of employed graduates. The second tool was the company reporting by family members and acquaintances (34% for qualified and 38% for graduates). As far as foreigners are concerned, the direct relationship with the company or with the training institution is preferred.
At the level of type of employment relationship, the employed are divided equally between those with temporary and permanent contracts. More than half of the permanent contract is represented by apprenticeship contracts, with 5,5% of self-employment and a parasubordinate share of 5%. For high school graduates, the share of permanent contracts reaches 64,5% (again half attributable to apprenticeships) compared to 27% for fixed-term contracts, 7,3% for self-employment and a small share for semi-subordinate . In the context of fixed-term contracts, both for qualified and graduates, the standard contract constitutes just under 84% of the total, seasonal work just under 14%, with residual quotas of intermittent and ancillary work.
Fadda: "the development of VETs favors an optimal match between the demand/supply of professional skills"
“Overall, the data emerging from the survey highlight a substantial continuity and dynamism of the system, albeit with important territorial differences. All in all, not even the pandemic has had much impact on the state of employment, at least for qualified young people, who in 2020 lose "only" 6,2 percentage points, with 5,1% on layoffs, but who otherwise do not undergo changes substantial. On the development of the VET system, which favors an optimal match between demand and supply of professional skills, the expectations of business associations are concentrated, in particular those of specific productive sectors, but also the job prospects of young people, in a framework in which unemployment remains at alarming levels. Therefore, it will be essential to promptly align the training offer with the needs expressed by the entrepreneurial fabric and to be able to direct the participation of users towards the professional figures expressed. To this end, a strong commitment is needed to improve the connection mechanisms between the analysis of the evolution of professional needs, the planning of training courses and orientation services” underlined the president of Inapp, Fadda.
