On 4 November 2026, the National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL), in its role of reflecting partner in the SYNCLUSIVE Project consortium, hosted the third reflection workshop at its headquarters in Rome.
The workshop focused on the governance of labour market inclusion processes, with particular attention to collaboration among institutions, services, enterprises, social partners and civil society organisations. The discussion addressed the challenges of engaging stakeholders and sustaining their commitment over time, as well as the importance of shared and continuous leadership. The workshop also gathered stakeholders’ views on the criteria and conditions needed to assess the effectiveness, sustainability and transferability of the ENGINE approach in Italy, including the evidence, indicators and contextual factors that could support its consolidation, scaling up and integration into national policies and practices for the inclusion of vulnerable groups.
Key national stakeholders, including representatives from the Ministry of Labour, the two main national trade unions, research institutions, large enterprise, Municipality of Rome attended the meeting and contributed to a comprehensive discussion enriched by direct experiences and fundamental insights into the dynamics of the Italian labour market and inclusion policies.
To encourage broader expert participation, a single working group was formed. This choice was made because of the limited number of participants and to foster direct, continuous discussion among all viewpoints, avoiding fragmentation and the need to reconcile the outputs of separate groups. The group was designed to include diverse organisational backgrounds, professional expertise and perspectives, aiming for the most varied range of viewpoints possible. Participants were then posed three guiding questions, and a designated rapporteur presented the group’s conclusions during the final plenary session.
