Applications are now open for the new edition of the FNM Autoservizi Academy, a training programme for aspiring bus drivers aged 21 and over. The programme offers a fixed-term, part-time employment contract for the duration of the training period, aimed at obtaining a Category D driving licence and the Certificate of Professional Competence (CQC), with all costs fully covered by the company. Upon successful completion, the contract will be converted to a permanent, full-time position, with a €3,000 sign-on bonus. Drivers who complete the Academy programme, which is scheduled to start by September, will be assigned to FNMA routes in the provinces of Como and Varese.
THE TRAINING PROGRAMME – The training programme developed by FNMA will take place at its facilities in Saronno and Tradate. Participants will initially be hired on a fixed-term, part-time contract as Operations Staff, under pay grade 140 of the National Collective Labour Agreement for the road and rail public transport sector (CCNL Autoferrotranvieri). The company will cover all costs associated with obtaining the Category D driving licence and CQC qualification. The expected salary is approximately €800 per month.
At the end of the training period, candidates who successfully pass the examinations and obtain the required qualifications will be offered permanent employment. New employees will be required to commit to working for FNMA for at least three years. They will also receive a €3,000 sign-on bonus, paid in three instalments: €1,000 upon hiring after obtaining the driving licence, €1,000 after 18 months of employment, and the final €1,000 after 36 months.
A comprehensive welfare package, including meal vouchers and benefits covering healthcare, children’s education, training and leisure activities, complements the remuneration offered to new drivers.
REQUIREMENTS – FNMA’s recruitment campaign is open to candidates aged 21 or over who hold a lower secondary school diploma, a Category B driving licence, and meet the physical and psychological fitness requirements for the role. Applicants must also have no criminal convictions or pending criminal proceedings.
Candidates must be willing to work shifts, have a passion for driving and demonstrate good interpersonal skills.
