forma-re-te

What forma-re-te does

Forma-re-te is a private vocational training cooperative (SOC COOP) headquartered in Turin, Italy, accredited by Regione Piemonte since September 2012 to deliver publicly funded professional training (certificate 1123/001) and career orientation services (certificate 1124/001). It operates as an emanation of A.G.C.I. (Associazione Generale Cooperative Italiane), the national cooperative association, and runs three training locations across the Turin metropolitan area (Via Tempia and Corso Novara in Torino, plus a Collegno branch).

The organization's core offering is a portfolio of in-person classroom and laboratory-based training courses covering IT and programming (including Java and Python/AI), business administration, electrical and mechanical trades, languages, healthcare support, safety certifications (forklift operation, PES PAV PEI electrical safety), and green-economy disciplines such as solar/photovoltaic installation. Complementary services include employment placement (Servizi al Lavoro), career orientation, prior-learning skills certification (IVC), and the Accademia Piemonte advanced technical academy delivered in IFTS consortia with Politecnico di Torino and partner technical schools.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) publicly funded courses for unemployed individuals via the national GOL (Garanzia di Occupabilità dei Lavoratori) program and disability-targeted pathways through collocamento mirato, both funded by Regione Piemonte and referrals routed through Centri per l'Impiego; (2) employer co-funded continuing education under the FCI (Formazione Continua Individuale) regime, which covers 70% of costs from training funds with employers contributing the remaining 30%; and (3) private paid courses for individuals and companies (e.g., €145 for forklift operator certification, €200 + VAT for PES PAV PEI). The customer base spans unemployed job seekers, people with disabilities, employed workers seeking upskilling, and Piedmont-based enterprises, with delivery conducted exclusively in person at forma-re-te's three regional facilities.
