The provincial government is a territorial administrative unit, and its main task is treating the interests of the local community, promoting and coordinating its development. The provincial functions are the exploitation and the protection of the environment and the territory, the infrastructures, the development of the economic and productive system, the services to the community like vocational training and employment services.
The provincial government carries out its commissions by planning, controlling, technically supporting and evaluating integrated formative activities, financed with UE, governmental and regional funds.
These activities, performed by formative agencies, by firms, by public and private organisms, are targeted to specific subjects, with the aim of helping them insert themselves in the job market or to undertake ways of updating and retraining in order to improve and sustain their job skills.
Following the reform of the employment law, the Province of Prato created an integrated provincial system of employment services, supported by eleven agencies throughout the territory with the involvement of the municipalities and the economic and social forces, in order to reach the objective of increasing the jobs rates and to promote the quality and the stability of occupations in the territory, by paying attention to the firms needs and the aspirations of the employees. |
