Thanks to the Decreto Flussi and the partnership between Orienta and Sielte, one of Italy’s leading telecommunications companies, Italy is welcoming 34 skilled workers from the Philippines.
The Decreto Flussi is an Italian government measure that sets, each year, the number of non-European citizens that can enter the country for work.
Orienta and Sielte have joined forces to recruit as many workers as possible, thereby securing work permits for 34 of them. The Filipinos who passed the selection process are workers with years of experience in the telecommunications sector. In Italy, they will undergo training and then be hired by the company.
After arriving in Turin, Italy, last July, the workers immediately began an Italian language course and theoretical and practical training that will enable them to acquire all the skills necessary to obtain the certifications required to work in Italy. Upon completion of their training, they will be hired by Sielte as excavator operators and cable installers, with a 12-month temporary employment contract.
In addition to their professional and educational initiatives, Orienta and Sielte have also launched a welcome program for newly arrived workers. They have involved the Filipino community in Turin, the Filipino Cultural Association of Turin, a cultural mediator, and a Filipino restaurant in the project. In addition, Ms. Maria Grazia Cavallo, Honorary Consul of the Republic of the Philippines, was present at the official launch of the initiative.
