During the most recent renewal of the National Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Metalworking and Machinery Industry, the social partners sought to place greater emphasis on training for company employees, with the aim of improving their skills.
In a nutshell, companies must, over the course of each three-year period (starting on June 1, 2021), provide training programs totaling 24 hours per person to their permanent employees and those on fixed-term contracts of at least 9 months’ duration.
Training programs must be developed in collaboration with the RSU (if one exists), or by participating in regional or sector-specific initiatives, self-directed learning through distance learning and e-learning, attending conferences and seminars, or through on-the-job training directly at the company.
To this end, it has become essential to establish an unrecognized nonprofit association, managed jointly by the parties that signed the National Collective Bargaining Agreement, named “MetApprendo,” with which companies must register by October 15, 2021, in order to fulfill their obligation to pay the one-time contribution.
