What FMTS Experience does

FMTS Experience S.r.l. is an Italian private limited company, headquartered in Pontecagnano Faiano with an additional accredited office in Naples, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMTS Group. Founded in 2014 (firmographic record shows 2012), the company specializes in administering transnational mobility programs under the European Union's Erasmus+ framework, serving three primary participant segments: students nearing graduation, recent high-school graduates within 12 months of completion (neodiplomati), and school staff. Its core offering is end-to-end mobility project management — planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of training internships, study trips, and job-shadowing experiences — delivered across 14 European destinations in 12 countries.

The company's technology stack is an Erasmus+ mobility management platform with integration to the European Commission's language learning platform, enabling participants to test initial levels and complete personalized online courses in destination-country languages. Supporting services include travel arrangements, accommodation search, financial stipends (pocket money), tutoring, and competency certification. The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification and is accredited by Regione Campania (Decreto dirigenziale n.10 of 11/05/2023) to deliver regional training services. Through January 2023, FMTS Experience had facilitated 21,032 mobility grants across 3,612+ students, 12,612+ recent graduates, and 5,077+ teachers, with more than one in three experiences reportedly converting into employment at the host company.

The business model is managed-services intermediation of EU and regional public funding rather than direct participant billing: participants receive transport, accommodation, language courses, and stipends free of charge, with FMTS Experience compensated via grant administration fees from Erasmus+ (via national agencies INDIRE and INAPP) and from regional programs such as GOL Campania. The go-to-market is sales-led through institutional partnerships with Italian vocational schools and training centers, supplemented by website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and content marketing. The company also coordinates the EU-funded Overstep pilot project spanning 4 EU member states and 10 African countries, and operates within a broader FMTS Group ecosystem that includes labor, training, and education subsidiaries.
