Temporary and seasonal
job
Access to seasonal job
for non communitarian citizens
The employer who means to engage a foreign person for a seasonal
job must present nominative application to the Unique Point
for immigration. In the cases in which the employer does not
have a direct knowledge of the foreign person, the request
must be immediately communicated from the Unique Point to
the Employment Centre competent, that verify within five days
the eventual availability of Italian or communitarian workers
to accept the seasonal job offered (see Access
to short or long time subordinated job for non communitarian
citizens).
Within the maximum term of 20 days the permit is issued, the
authorization to the seasonal job has a validity from twenty
days to a maximum of nine months, lining up with the duration
of the seasonal job demanded.
The seasonal worker has priority for re-entering in Italy
the following year for seasonal job reasons, in comparison
with citizens of the same Country who have never entered regularly
in Italy for job reasons. He can, moreover, convert the residence
permit for seasonal job in residence permit for short or long
time job, provided that the conditions come true.
Job in tourism
Contrary to the difficulties to find a long time job, the
seasonal job opportunities are quite good: the most favourable
fields are that tourist - hotel and the agricultural one.
Italy is the tourist country pre-eminently and, if you adapt
yourself, it is not difficult to find jobs in hotels, restaurants,
bars, ice-cream shops, and so on. Also in agriculture it is
possible to find short time job in the fruit and vegetables
collection.
On average the demanded availability goes from 2 to 6 months
and the most demanded profiles are reception employees, cooks,
cleaning staff, barmen, waiters for the receptive structures,
baby sitter, entertainers; and so on.
The best period to send your resumè goes from January
to April for the summer season and from September to November
for the winter season. For job in hotels it can be useful
to read the announcements that appear on daily paper and local
newspapers and it is almost always necessary to introduce
yourself personally since the innkeepers prefer to see the
people that they mean to engage. In order to work as cook
assistant, dishwashers or floor maid no particular experience
is requested. While for other profiles, above all in the field
of the animation, generally the priority in the engagement
is given to those who possess professional qualifications
or experiences in the field and is preferable the knowledge
of one or more foreign languages.

Job in tourist villages
The experience of job in a tourist village in Italy represents

requested professionalities are several and include an immense
range of specializations: the agencies select staff for the
animation, restaurant, stewardship, hostess, welcoming and
maintenance services, for atelier (the ones who have experience
in the field of applied arts), for administradive jobs, for
sport activities, and so on. Among the main requirements,
beyond being out of age, you are requested spontaneity, creativity,
organizational abilities, extrovert character and dynamism.
It is an exacting piece of work, with not predictable timetables
and gain, at least initially, little tempting. The best period
to start looking for a job in this field is January/February.

a small photo, to the various agencies that manage tourist
villages, specifying (in case of tour operator that have tourist

Au pair Job
The au pair stay is the cheapest solution
in order to improve the knowledge of the Italian language
without having to face the expenses for the stay, having therefore
the opportunity to know the Italian culture, to see unknown
cities and places. The families are chosen on the basis of
seriousness and responsibility requirements. The possibility
of au pair job in Italy is exclusively limited to girls. Here
the general characteristics requested by the agencies to the
au pair candidate:
the age of the "au pair" girl must be between 18
and 30 years, she must be single and preferably no smoker;
the duration of a stay is between 6 and 12 months. In summer
the period can be also shorter (1-3 months).
The Italian families ask for au pair girls' collaboration
mainly for looking after children and so that they can learn
the language; between the family and the girl should be drawn
up a written agreement in which are specified the mutual duties;
the timetables are established by the family and not by the
girl; usually in the first two weeks it is possible to change
the family in case of serious problems; the "au pair"
girl has right to board and lodging (possibly in a single
room) and to a remuneration for her small personal expenses
in exchange for a domestic help and for baby-sitting; the
engagement requested varies according to the chosen formula:
in growing order of engagement hours and weekly remuneration
the formulas are demi-pair, demi-pair plus, au pair, au
pair plus, mothers help.
Free time is generally given on the basis of both the family
and the girl's needs; the journey there and back is at the
girl's expense.
Addresses of some Italian agencies that take care of selecting
the families and placing the girls au pair:
Part-time
Job for students
The law on the right to study gives the possibility to university
students to work in university with paid collaborations, for
part time jobs and at a maximum of 150 hours per year. The
part-time collaborations can be activated besides by universities
also by regional agencies for the right to study.
For having a assignment you must have passed at least two
fifth of the examinations previewed with reference to the
enrolment year and generally universities privilege the students
having a lower income.
The job occasions regard many fields: from the guidance and
the tutoring to simple duties of administrative type or research,
to the information, cultural, sports, recreative and librarian
services; sometimes part-time students work also in the sanitary
services, in the student's houses (es. front desk service,
linen delivery) and in caterings (es. control and sale of
meal coupon).
Other collaborations can regard assistance for foreign or
disabled students, collaboration in scientific manifestations,
computer science or audiovisional equipment oparation, data
collection or elaboration.
For information ask the University (Agencies for the Right to Study) you are enrolled.
Vocational
Trainings
Vocational Training in company
is for the student an excellent occasion to complete his academic
preparation and to enter the job world. A vocational Training
in a foreign country combines the company experience with
the one, equally formative, of the knowledge of a culture
different from yours. It is different from a real job since
the young person, during his stay in company, continues to
be for all purposes a student. There is no obligation for
remuneration, just in some cases there is just expenses
reimbursement (granted also through scholarships) or a
prize stage. The amount is decided by each company according
to their needs and on the basis of the duties carried out
by the training. The apprentices must be insured against industrial
accidents by the competent Agency in the hosting Country.
On the basis of the typology and formative objectives there
are various types of training with different duration and
development modalities. The training is within an educational
programme, in order to participate to it , therefore, you
should ask for information to formative agencies, to school
institutes and to universities that manage the formative activities
and that keep directly the contacts with the companies.
Universities often have lists of companies interested in welcoming
apprentices or of institutions/organizations that can be useful
for the research of a stage.
In order to carry out a training in a company
it is possible to apply spontaneously to a company or to turn
to a specialized service or a promoting agency such as the
Employment Centres, the guidance and education centres,
some Industrial Associations, and so on that, besides
providing useful information, can offer interesting opportunities.
Other useful source are the foreign Chambers of Commerce
available in Italy or branchs (office) of foreign corporations
in Italy.
Another possibility is given by professional
agencies, institutions or Centres that, covering the role
of intermediaries between the European Union and the citizens,
announce publicly internship within the communitarian program
Leonardo.
Leonardo da Vinci is one of the programs of the European Union
that finance study programs, practical and voluntary service
in the Countries of the Union.
It offers the possibility to complete an experience of education
and job in one of the 15 States members of the European Union,
let alone in Island, Liechtenstein and Norway and in the Countries
associated to the Program: Estonia, Hungary, Slovakian Republic,
Lettonia, Polonia, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Lituania,
Rumania, Malta and Cyprus.
In order to participate it is necessary to turn to the State
National Agency where you live (provided that this State adheres
to the Program so as to realize mobility actions).
Each promoting organism of the training project will specify
in the ban of selection the duration of training and the countries
of destination, together with the requirements and the due
expiry dates for the presentation of the application. The
companies where to carry out the trainings will be pointed
out by the same organisms, within the respective cooperation
agreements.
The participation to the program is free, a financial
contribution is offered in order to face the "costs of
mobility": travel, assurance and stay. Further information
on Leonardo and the addresses of the national Agencies can
be found consulting the site
http://ec.europa.eu/education/programmes/leonardo/leonardo_en.html.
