SCVAP is an Italian training center in the construction sector in Vicenza and was also involved in the predecessor project "Steps". The education center trains around 2,500 apprentices every year and is managed in equal parts by employee and employer representatives. The good access to the prison in Vicenza, to voluntary organizations, to its own member companies and to both full-time and voluntary organizational bodies is ideally suited for transferring the German partners' approach to its own region in an exemplary manner.
