Italy Labour Law Update: Apprentice’s Contracts

The apprentice’s training plan must be drawn up in writing, cannot be contained in a document outside the contract and must be formed at the same time as the contract itself.

Court of Cassation, judgment 24 April 2023, n. 10826

The apprentice’s training plan must be drawn up in writing, cannot be contained in a document outside the contract and must be drawn up at the same time as the contract itself.

The Court of Cassation reaches these conclusions because it considers that the training element qualifies the very cause of the professionalizing apprenticeship contract.

This makes particularly pressing the need for the willingness of the worker, in accessing this type of contract, to be formed on the basis of full awareness of the proposed training course and its suitability to allow the acquisition of the qualification to which the apprenticeship is aimed.
