Italy is expanding its international cooperation in the sectors of professional education, training, and tourism through various bilateral agreements.

In Bulgaria, a partnership involving the De Filippi Institute and Hilton Sofia has focused on hospitality and tourism internships to help students gain international experience. A conference titled ‘Future Destination’ was scheduled for October 2026 to discuss the results of these programs and potential expansion.

Simultaneously, Italy and Argentina signed a Memorandum of Understanding to align technical and professional training with labor market demands. This agreement includes the potential introduction of the Italian ‘4+2’ technological-professional model and ITS Academy systems in Argentina, while also addressing digital citizenship and teacher training.
