2 ABSTRACT
The idea that inspired this project is to understand if public investment in training gives people
searching for a job, better opportunities to find it. Its a responsibility of the states, help people
unemployed to find a job. So the states invest a lot of money in active labor market policies,
including training programs. They might help unemployed workers to improve their skills, and
become more attractive for the labor world. A lot of economists ,however, are not very optimistic
about the benefits of many of these programs. If in some cases they induces a better match
between a worker and a job, in other cases they are not efficient and lastly a waste of resources.
Especially in some European states, where this kind of programs were introduced later, the
efficiency of training program appears very low. The purpose of the project is to evaluate the
impact of those policies in some European states and make a comparison between the various
programs. The most efficient will taken as the benchmark. With this study we will be able to say
what are the strengths and the weaknesses of a training program, for make the future programs
more efficient and give to young people and unemployed worker better opportunities to find a new
job. The action should help to set-up a cooperation mechanism between the various European
agencies to tackle the risk of social exclusion of vulnerable group, as the call wanted.

The project we proposed aims to evaluate the impact of training programs on unemployment
problem. In particular we want to analyze how these programs could help the long term
unemployed and the young people, who are unable to find their first job, that are particularly
sensitive categories.
It is generally acknowledged that the State has, among its responsibilities, to solve the problem of
unemployment. Especially when this problem becomes bigger and bigger, as in the years that
we're experiencing. Scientists identify two types of policies that the state can activate in these

2/3
cases: passive labour policies and active ones. The first are essentially monetary benefits for the
unemployed. They consist in unemployment benefits and allowances. However these policies does
not seem to solve the problem. Are certainly helpful in the short run to cushion the hardship of the
unemployed but do not seem to be able to create new opportunities. Since the 90 's, the
academics have focused on active labour policies. they are all interventions that are directly
affecting the labour market by creating new employment or better matching for the workers. Such
policies are far more ambitious than the previous ones, but are also much more difficult. It is much
more likely that there are a waste of resources in the actual application.
One of the main tools in the active labour policies are the training programs. The aim of these
programs is to train young people job seekers and unemployed people, giving them the tools and
the skills they need. Through this training, it should be filled the gap between what employers seek
and what the workers can do. In conclusion, should improve the match between demand and offer
of work by improving the labor market and making it more efficient.
