CENTOFORM, set up in 2001, is a Vocational and Education Training Centre (VET) recognized with
Quality Accreditation on training by Emilia Romagna Region, Italy, a region characterized by a strong
dynamic economy with a sectoral focus on Mechanical engineering and important university research

It is partner of Confindustria, the main Italian industrial association, and it works in collaboration with
representatives and clusters of productive sectors at national and European level. We operate in 2 Italian regions: Emilia Romagna (Northern competitiveness region) and Apulia Region (Southern

The staff (25 employees and 15 external professionals) is composed of VET senior project managers, administrative staff, senior and junior consultants with expertise in training, career guidance, tutorship in apprenticeships, research, management and financial reporting of Italian, European and international funds and projects.
Centoform designs and manage training programmes for unemployed and employed people working on ESF regional funds and interprofessional funds. We deliver Post Secondary Level training with 30% of Work Based Learning (WBL).
Centoform also deals with apprenticeship-related projects for young people and other forms of incompany

trainees were involved. Since 2016 we are an official member of EAfA – European Alliance for Apprenticeships.
