Italy : Help and advice abroad

Public employment services

The EURES - European Job Mobility Portal , maintained by the European Commission, provides information about job vacancies, living and working conditions and labour markets in Italy, as well as a CV-posting service for jobseekers.

Career and educational information can also be found at L'Informagiovani  (in Italian). These information services for young people are provided by Comuni (local councils) and are available nationwide.

The careers website, JobTel , is a guidance portal and contains information, links and addresses relating to education and employment and may also be useful.

Higher education careers support

A number of Italian universities have in-house employment guidance offices (uffici di orientamento al lavoro), details of which are generally easy to find on university websites. The majority of Italian universities also contribute to an initiative called Alma Laurea, a database containing the complete CVs of recent graduates that enables students and graduates to gain easy access to the job market and assists companies in their personnel recruitment.

Help in an emergency

British citizens can get help in an emergency from the British Embassy in Italy . The website contains information on the type of help available.

The European emergency number, 112, can be used in Italy for the fire department, police and ambulance service.
