Apprenticeships in Italy have time limits from September 24, 2015 to December 31, 2017. Apprentices are excluded from certain legal and collective agreement limits. Employers receive benefits like reduced 5% contribution rates instead of 10%, exemption from layoff rules, and tax breaks on contributions to finance unemployment insurance for hiring apprentices. Apprentices receive 10% of the normal salary when doing external training but the full salary during internal training.
