About this course

This course offers a clear and practical guide to fundamental employee rights in Italy. It is designed for anyone with an employment contract who wishes to better understand their protections regarding leave, holidays, dismissals, and resignations. The program is structured into thematic modules with concrete examples and case studies to facilitate learning. We will integrate an AI-based assistant to help you draft communications related to these topics, such as resignation letters or leave requests. The course provides informational training and does not substitute professional legal advice, qualifying courses, or official certifications.
