As part of the initiatives under the Ligurian Regional
Administration’s Youth Plan designed to create
stable, quality employment for the 16-34 age group,
the Progetto Maestrale was run by lead partner
Fondazione dell’Accademia Italiana della
Marina Mercantile together with Costa Cruises and
other operators. The project was included in the long-
established strategy of vocational training in “clusters”.
There were 8 training paths for Staff, Hotel and Deck
& Engine positions, with duration ranging from 258 to
616 hours. The scheme kicked off in fall 2014 with a
course for pizza chefs and ended in August 2015 with
the third edition of the Cruise Staff course. The project
saw the involvement of a total of 141 trainees and
resulted in 128 of them finding employment.
