[company_age]76.0[/company_age][employees]11-50 employees[/employees][description]The Confederazione Italiana Professionisti e Artisti (CIPA), also known as Confederazione CIPA, is a unique Italian confederation with a rich history dating back to 1948. Its primary mission is to protect and advocate for the rights and interests of professionals and artists, both as individuals and within associations. CIPA distinguishes itself from traditional unions or professional associations by emphasizing inter-category solidarity, bringing together professionals and artists from diverse fields under a single umbrella. This approach fosters collaboration and mutual support among its members. CIPA plays a crucial role in advocating for the recognition and well-being of intellectual workers, particularly those who may not have established professional bodies or associations representing their interests. The confederation actively participates in shaping national labor agreements and policies, especially those related to apprenticeship programs for young people entering the workforce. Additionally, CIPA manages welfare initiatives such as CADIPROF, FONDOPROFESSIONI, and E.BI.PRO, specifically tailored to support employees within professional studios.[/description][ps]Advocacy, Labor Agreement Negotiation, Welfare Programs (CADIPROF, FONDOPROFESSIONI, E.BI.PRO)[/ps]
