Funded Continuing Education

In an increasingly competitive and ever-changing economy, companies, employed workers/employees, and liber* professionals must be able to adapt to rapid technological changes and new market challenges. 

Training is the priority competitive advantage, which is indispensable to improve the efficiency and quality of products/services.

Tra i corsi proposti, ci saranno anche i nostri.

We at Apical know how exhausting, especially in economic terms, it can be to sustain the demand for continuous updates. However, we are aware that the lack of them can result in even greater costs. 

This is why we decided to develop a structured training offering in our Solar program. We have structured courses that aim to be a response to the need to grow and develop skills in step with a dynamic, rapidly changing market.

We did this because we believe that the cultural diffusion of new knowledge, including from the world of digital innovation, are fundamental pillars to the well-being of any kind of business.

Investing in refresher courses and new digital transformation skills means having the tools to achieve business goals, be more competitive and have forward-looking perspectives for the future.

So far, of the 30 million made available by the "Continuing Education" call, applications for more than 10 million have already been received by the Lombardy Region.

So what do you say? Do you want to secure funding and take this opportunity to enhance your professionalism and business?
