Ticino Unia

ECAP Ticino Unia was established in 1994 through a partnership between the construction and industry trade union of the Canton of Ticino (now Unia) and the ECAP Foundation. Today, it is a well-established organisation in the field of continuing vocational training and integration in Ticino. Its activities are recognised and supported by the canton. On behalf of the cantonal employment office and in collaboration with the regional employment centres, it runs courses aimed at the vocational reintegration of jobseekers. Another key focus is on the integration of migrants through Italian language courses in various municipalities. Close collaboration with schools and educational institutions enhances the quality of the courses on offer.
