What Forma.Temp does

Forma.Temp (legal name: Forma.Temp – Fondo Formazione lavoratori in somministrazione) is an Italian bilateral solidarity fund (Fondo di Solidarietà Bilaterale) that delivers professional training and income support services exclusively to temporary agency workers (lavoratori in somministrazione) and the licensed employment agencies (Agenzie per il Lavoro) that place them. Established under Ministerial Decree No. 95074 of March 25, 2016, it is co-governed on a paritarian basis by employer associations Assolavoro and Assosomm, trade unions NIDIL-CGIL, FELSA-CISL and UILTemp, and confederations CGIL, CISL and UIL, under the supervision of the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and ANPAL. The fund is the only sectoral bilateral entity authorized to manage both active labor policies (training programs across basic, professional, on-the-job, apprenticeship, requalification, and refugee integration tracks) and passive labor policies (SAR income support, TIS and AIS salary integration, PDR relocation procedures, Diritto Mirato placement services) for the entire Italian temporary staffing sector.

The organization's technology footprint is anchored on the FTWeb portal, a unified platform through which agencies submit training projects, file SAR/TIS/AIS claims, manage MOL/PDR procedures, and access reporting. Adjacent modules include TISWeb for salary integration procedures, FTCont for accounting and monthly/annual declarations, the worker-facing Cruscotto Formativo for certificate and Digital Badge retrieval (authenticated via SPID), the Rilevazione Presenze attendance tracker for teachers, and a Knowage-based Analytics warehouse at analytics.formatemp.it. A Digital Badge system integrated with IQC's C-BOX platform enables verifiable competency attestation for training completions. Distribution is hybrid: self-service through FTWeb/FTCont, intermediated through the licensed ApL channel for project submission, and supported via trade union sportelli sindacali offices (NIDIL CGIL, FELSA CISL, UILTemp) for worker-facing services. Communication channels include the institutional website, two dedicated Telegram channels for agencies and unions, a YouTube tutorial channel, webinars, and formal circulars (circolari).

Forma.Temp operates as a non-profit association and does not sell services in a commercial sense. It is financed by mandatory contributions from employment agencies and temporary workers, collected through INPS (Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale) and channeled into training and income support benefits. The governance is strictly paritarian: a 30-member Shareholders' Assembly (15 employer + 15 trade union representatives), a 12-member Board of Directors (6+6), and a 12-member Management and Control Committee. Services to workers and agencies are provided without direct charge, with reimbursement flows and benefit disbursements (e.g., approximately €10M to 15,089 workers under TIS in deroga in August 2020, and roughly €5M under TIS simplified in September 2020) managed end-to-end through the digital platform ecosystem.
