Undersecretary Vacca: "The Ministry of Cultural Heritage is hiring. The call for applications by July."


Undersecretary for Cultural Heritage Gianluca Vacca announces that the ministry will hire staff. The notice will be issued by July.

A call for applications will be issued by July to hire 2,052 workers at the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities. This was stated in the evening by Undersecretary for Cultural Heritage Gianluca Vacca. “We said it and now we are moving on to the facts,” Vacca stressed. “By July the first of two competitions planned for 2019 will be published: one for 1052 positions for staff dedicated to reception and supervision, the other for 250 administrative officer positions. Then, in 2020, there will be competitions for another 750 posts: 500 non-managerial staff in Functional Area II and 250 non-managerial staff in Area III, to be allocated to various profiles with specific Mibac professionalism. Summing up, we thus foresee two competitions in 2019, for 1302 posts, and one competition in 2020, for 750 posts. Total in the two-year period: 2052 hires.”

These recruitments will then be complemented by those of the Concreteness bill, which if it goes through will guarantee turn-over between 80 and 100 percent (e.g., if 80 percent means that for every 10 workers who retire, 8 will be hired). “We are therefore keeping the commitment made,” Vacca concludes, “and responding to the dual need to fill the serious staffing gaps inherited from the past and to supplement the staff in view of the upcoming retirement exits.” However, there is also the fact that six thousand staff members are scheduled to retire between now and 2020, and that the Concreteness bill is still under discussion, so there is actually a serious risk that new hires will not be enough to cover the shortfalls in the workforce.
