First you find a job, then you pay for the training course that allowed you to find it. Talent Garden launched the project Pay4Talents with the aim of breaking down the only barrier to access to professional training courses that does not depend on people’s talent or their will: the cost, not always for all budgets.

Dattoli: “We want to make training accessible to all”
“We want to make Coding and Cybersecurity training accessible to anyone where we have thousands of open job positions in Italy and where companies do not find suitable candidates”, he comments Davide Dattoli, founder and executive president of Talent Garden. “There are two main stumbling blocks: parents, who still too often push their children not to undertake paths of this type, directing them instead to the more traditional economic or law universities, where, however, the national average of employment is today much lower than the two Stem areas that we propose; the second is the economic one. This is why we decided to experiment with the Income Sharing Agreements models in Italy too “, he added.
