Finding work may seem like a company that is difficult to reach, especially for those who feel cut out of traditional training and employment circuits. To facilitate the meeting between demand and demand of work, the government has created the platform Applia virtual assistant created by Ministry of Labor For accompany young Italians on a personalized professional orientation path. This is not a simple app for the search for job offers: Appli exploits the potential of generative artificial intelligence to offer a tailor -made service, capable of reading individual needs and crossing them with the real demands of the labor market. It is free, accessible 24 hours a day and designed to integrate with the existing public tools, such as the platform Siisl (Information system for social and working inclusion).
In the initial phase, departing from September 2025access will be reserved for a maximum of 120,000 young people Neet (Not in Employment, Education or training), or boys between 15 and 29 years old who do not work, do not study and are not inserted in training courses. A range of population that in Italy affects almost 1 in 5 young men and which represents a significant social and economic challenge: it is estimated that their inactivity weights up to 2% of the national GDP. Appli’s goal is to reactivate this latent workforce, reduce the gap between available skills and market demands, and offer a more targeted, effective and personalized orientation.
How appli works
Appli was born with an approach called Human-in-the-Loopwhich provides for a constant interaction between people and the AI: it is therefore not a system that makes decisions independently, but one Active support tool in the hands of the user and operators of the employment centers. The latter will be an integral part of the project, thanks to a progressive extension of the functionality of the digital assistant to support their daily work, freeing time for more strategic activities.
But what can Appli concretely do for users looking for work? The service leads each user along a personalized routehelping to identify their skills, to recognize its value and find out which professional opportunities are better adapted to the personal profile.
