Fincantieri inaugurated the “Masters of the Sea” project in Rome, launching a paid training program, which will lead to the hiring of 90 people by the summer. This is a learning path that aims to research, train and hire shipbuilding workers.
The event was attended by Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and General Manager of Fincantieri, Luciano Sale, Director of Human Resources and Real Estate, Luigi Matarazzo, General Manager of the Merchant Ships Division, Pietro Cum, CEO of ELIS, Enzo De Fusco, Consultant of the work and university professor, and Maurizio Millico, Senior Strategy & Business Development Italy at Indeed.
Objective: invest in training
“Maestri del Mare” was born as part of District Italy, the orientation, training and job placement program, launched in 2023 by the ELIS Consortium, of which Fincantieri is part. This is a real investment in technical knowledge: it involves a paid training course aimed at direct employment at Fincantieri in the shipyards of Northern, Central and Southern Italy.
The first two training courses, for dimensional control workers and naval plant operators, will involve 30 resources. Four more courses are already planned in the coming months, aimed at also training naval operators and crane operators/slingers.
Fincantieri has built its Industrial Plan on the training of skills and on the “Made in Italy” of ingenuity: no longer just “manpower”, but an evolution to an idea of ”workforce” capable of bringing Italians closer to production, to skilled worker work, to new technologies, to the high standards of excellence that distinguish our products.
Fincantieri contributes to the industrial revival of the country
“The Italian industrial future passes through the training of specialized manpower, the “workforce” of tomorrow. The ‘Maestri del Mare’ project was born from this concept, a paid training project aimed at hiring young talents. The objective is to make the professions that young Italians tend to neglect attractive and cutting-edge” said Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and General Manager of Fincantieri.
“Maestri del Mare starts from the need for professional profiles of a large Italian company and creates opportunities for young people. We often hear about companies looking for staff and not finding them and about disheartened young people. When the world of training and work come together, we discover that a solution to the problem exists” concluded Pietro Cum, CEO of ELIS.
