Revenue model

1. Publicly Funded Training Programs: UNISCO delivers free training courses to eligible participants (unemployed, NEETs, migrants, disadvantaged persons) funded by the European Union (POR PUGLIA FESR-FSE, Erasmus+), the Italian government (Garanzia Giovani, GOL/PNRR), and the Region of Puglia. Participants receive attendance allowances funded through the same programs. Revenue flows to the organization through public grants and vouchers.
2. Professional Paid Courses: Select specialized training programs (e.g., Tecnico della Mediazione Interculturale at €1,620) are offered as paid courses for participants who do not qualify for public funding. Revenue collected in installments (e.g., 3 installments of €500, €700, €420).
3. Accredited Employment Agency Services: As a Region of Puglia accredited employment agency, UNISCO matches job seekers with employers (banking institutions, accounting firms, SMEs) and facilitates internships through programs like Garanzia Giovani. Services are free for job seekers; employer services may be subsidized under public active labor policies.
