Digit’Ed has further expanded its reach and opened to the Italian SME segment with the entry into its network of Galgano Informatica Group, a leader in people training services financed by major Joint Interprofessional Funds. Galgano Informatica Group was established in 1983 by the engineer Antonio Galgano. Since then, the group has grown from strength to strength under the leadership of his son, Andrea, who continues to guide the business.
Alongside the design and delivery of its training programs, Galgano works with its clients to identify the best funding solutions for corporate education, leveraging its accreditation with major Joint Interprofessional Funds for continuing education in Italy and public funding opportunities. Galgano unlocks the doors for Digit’Ed to access a market worth some €2.5 million per year and reach firmly into the SME segment, reinforcing its leadership of the corporate education sector.
Funded Training
Funded training is a strategic avenue for businesses looking to strengthen and expand the skill sets of their employees. Nineteen interprofessional funds for continuing education are active in Italy and accessible to all industry sectors. Run as associations authorized by the Ministry for Labor and Welfare Policy, the interprofessional funds were established to promote the professional training and reskilling/upskilling of workers. The inclusion of the New Skills Fund under the framework of the NRRP gives key importance to the Joint Interprofessional Funds as the main instrument for accessing public funding for corporate education. Member organizations can obtain funding to cover a variety of expenses, including the engagement of qualified instructors and purchase of learning materials, the design of courses and programs, and the rental of education facilities and classrooms.
