- The Joint Interprofessional Funds for Continuing Education are bodies of an associative nature founded and promoted by employer's organisations and trade unions and aimed at promoting training activities for employed workers. They are authorised to collect the 0.30% paid to INPS and redistribute it among their members (referring to the compulsory contribution for social security training established by Law 845/1978). By allocating the 0.30% to an Interprofessional Fund, the company will be guaranteed that what has been paid - by obligation (Law 845/1978) - can be returned to it in training actions aimed at upskilling employees. All types of education and training are eligible to be funded. Joining a fund is voluntary for companies.
