Enel, the energy giant, has reached an agreement with the Electricity Trade Unions Filctem Cgil, Flaei-Cisl and Uiltec. This agreement, according to a note issued by the group, aims to overcome past controversies, putting people, networks and the energy transition at the centre. The agreement, explains the note, focuses on the organization of current activities and starts a technical discussion on new operating models. This joint effort is seen as a contribution to the economic growth and development of the country, promoting the electrification of consumption.
The agreement between Enel and the unions underlines the common commitment in valorising strategic assets such as the Italian distribution network, fundamental for the energy transition. Furthermore, up to two thousand new hires are expected within the network in the years 2024-2026, to support the implementation of Enel’s Industrial Plan, which foresees investments of 12.2 billion euros.

The Enel initiative that trains young people
There was also a recent initiative, called “Energie per Crescere” by Enel, in collaboration with the training organization Elis. The latter received a huge turnout, with over 16 thousand applications in just one year. The initial objective of training 5,500 technicians in two years has been largely exceeded, with over 2,800 already qualified for entry into the energy sector.
