I qualificati piemontesi nella programmazione 2007-2013: un'analisi descrittiva preliminare

With this study we intend to describe the prerogatives of the qualified between 2010 and 2012 in the professional training courses provided by the Piedmont Region, through the Structural Funds ESF 2007-2013. What are the characteristics of young people attending vocational training courses aimed at fulfilling compulsory education? Which courses do they prefer? Are there any significant gender and citizenship differences? These are some of the questions we have tried to answer through the data coming from the administrative databases. The paper is aimed at analysing youth transitions to the labour market, one and five years after the end of the training courses, by a preliminary descriptive analysis.
