Training at CRIF includes:

• Foreign languages and courses on basic IT tools
• Courses for improving organizational skills needed for specific positions (people, management and team-work skills)
• Courses on topics of common interest (security and technological innovation) or on subjects related to specific positions
• Attendance at conventions, workshops and trade shows

Training programs:

• are designed for all Group staff members;
• rely on the CRIF’s cultural and professional background using both in-house (thus improving an exchange of knowledge and experiences) and outside instructors as well as a high profile educational network.

The provided training is accompanied by activities listed in the catalogues, aimed at creating a common knowledge base and “ad hoc” initiatives targeted at creating a continuous flow of knowledge within the organization.

CRIF invested in more than 10,000 hours of classroom training for its staff in 2005, with an average of 2.3 days of classroom training days per staff member, combined with “on the job” training and self-study training.

CRIF is a company for those who want to grow and always discover new things and for those who believe that innovation is a state of mind more than anything else. The market we work in is very competitive, so we view training as one of the key factors to success. For this reason we have developed a model which takes into account the skills required by the professional figures and organizational positions held by each staff member and have used this model to create individual position-based training programs, making it possible to plan training with a high degree of accuracy and efficiency.

Out training activities revolve around:

• Cross-over skills
• Organizational skills
• Technical and professional skills
