Varese - "Come Live in Varese," a project to bring new workers to the province on Rai - - Varese News


“ Come and live in Varese ,” the project launched by the Varese Chamber of Commerce to attract new workers to the Varese area and try to address the staff shortage that is causing difficulties for companies, has also attracted the attention of Rai , which on Saturday 25 October aired a report on Rai 1 during the in-depth programme Settegiorni to describe the initiative in detail.
For every two available jobs, one remains vacantAs highlighted in the article by Alberto Alfredo Tristano , the province of Varese has a concentration of businesses per square kilometer almost double the national average. It is an area with many small artisanal and industrial businesses, but also major production sites. For every two jobs offered by companies , however, one is destined to remain vacant .
With “Come and live in Varese”, the Chamber of Commerce aims to intercept new talent and make the province of Varese more attractive: an area squeezed between Switzerland , capable of offering very high salaries, and the economic and productive liveliness of Milan .
"I understand," Mauro Vitiello , president of the Varese Chamber of Commerce, explained to Rai, "that 6,000 euros over three years won't make the Varese area more attractive, but it's a way to shine a spotlight on this area and make people understand that it's a problem we've put on the table."
Population decline and a mismatch between the skills companies seek and those candidates bring to the table. These are among the main causes of the staffing shortage in the province of Varese. This problem jeopardizes the very ability of companies to compete in the market. "We're having difficulty finding milling operators, turners, and foundry workers," emphasized Andrea Gatti , CEO of GEA Srl in Castelseprio. "This is a major problem for the company's competitiveness. Not having the staff to pursue projects and ideas is humiliating ."

The difficulties in recruiting staff also affect the service sector, where 70% of new hires are expected. "We've invested heavily in technology," added Eleonora Merlo , CEO of the Gallarate Night Watch Institute, "but a human eye and sensitivity are essential."
