In Sicily, the network of employment consultants is currently seeking professional figures across various sectors such as entertainment, optometry, orthopedics, physiatry, wages and contributions expertise, personal assistance, family work, and order management. However, a significant 42.7% of job positions offered by Sicilian companies remain vacant due to a lack of suitable candidates, particularly in tourism, services, and construction.
Despite the shortage of qualified candidates, job opportunities continue to be available, with the introduction of the new “Employment Superbonus” aimed at encouraging the hiring of young people, women, and individuals over 35 in the South SEZ area. To facilitate the connection between job supply and demand, the National Foundation for Labor Consultants has organized a national route called “The work travels with us!” in collaboration with the National Association of Young Labor Consultants and the Provincial Order of Labor Consultants.
The final stage of this event will take place in Messina’s Piazza Duomo, where specialized professionals will provide guidance and orientation to young people on choosing study paths that align with the demands of the job market. Activities such as group sessions, workshops, and thematic lessons on workplace safety and ethical work will be offered. Participants will also learn about employment opportunities and active policies available in the area, and explore platforms like “Sorprendo” to better understand their skills and the job market.
The event will feature discussions with industry experts and business leaders such as Luigi Rizzolo, Vincenzo Silvestri, Luca Paone, and Enrico Limardo, as well as Messina Mayor Federico Basile. The aim is to provide valuable insights on the current job market, most sought-after professions, and opportunities for career development in the region. The event seeks to bridge the gap between job seekers and potential employers, ultimately enhancing employment opportunities in Sicily.
