  2. Supporting and developing LLL • Supporting LifeLongLearning with a close connection with occupability was the general objective for Regione Toscana launching the ILA Program together with four tuscan provinces (Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Pistoia) • The goal is the experimentation in different social and ecomical contexts • The pilot project will develop guide-lines and best practices • The project marks a multi-regional space (with Piemonte and Umbria) and is supported by the Italian Ministry of Welfare

  3. A short description • The Project provides the distribution of 2800 ILA Cards to different target of population • The total credit for every card is € 2.500,00 , to be used within two years in activities of vocational training (formal & non-formal) and related activities • The managing administration (Provincia) provides, through a specific agreement, to pay the sum to a bank which will issue the card • The beneficiaries are assisted by a tutoring service in the employment centers of provinces • The card is loaded every time with a sum of € 500,00 FURTHER INFORMATION...
