Beyond barriers
Mission and objectives
We create real opportunities for people.
The AKG Italia Foundation ETS supports projects with a high social impact through grants, with the aim of making education and employment more accessible and reducing inequalities.
We work alongside qualified organizations to transform ideas into tangible paths for growth, helping people regain their independence, reenter the workforce, and build their personal and professional futures.
Our vision
A more equitable, inclusive, and accessible society.
Let’s imagine a future in which everyone has access to real opportunities for education, employment, and personal growth, regardless of their starting point.
We work every day to reduce social and economic inequalities by promoting equal opportunities and supporting initiatives that generate a positive, tangible, and lasting impact.
The goal is clear: to create real opportunities for people and contribute to a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable society.
Our history
The AKG Italia Foundation ETS was founded based on the experience of AKG Italia, an accredited provider of employment and training services that has been committed for years to developing skills and career placement programs.
With firsthand knowledge of the challenges of the job market and the difficulties in accessing training and employment, we decided to take it a step further: to create a tool dedicated exclusively to social impact.
The Foundation is the natural evolution of this journey: an initiative that reinforces our commitment to inclusion by supporting projects and organizations capable of bringing about tangible change.
Activities of general interest (Art. 5 of the third sector code)
The Foundation operates as a Third Sector Entity and carries out exclusively activities in the public interest, pursuant to Article 5 of the Third Sector Code (Legislative Decree 117/2017), pursuing civic, solidarity-based, and socially beneficial objectives.
What we do
The AKG Italia Foundation ETS aims to create a lasting social impact.
Our goals are concrete:
- Support initiatives that help people enter or re-enter the workforce through career guidance, training, and support.
- Promote accessible, job-oriented training, with a focus on those who are outside traditional educational pathways.
- To support people during times of vulnerability, promoting inclusion, independence, and new opportunities for growth.
- Propose initiatives aimed at reducing social and economic disparities and promoting equal opportunities.
Where we operate
The Foundation was established in Milan and has a national vision, with the goal of taking action where our support can have the greatest social impact.
We don't start with a rigid geographic footprint, but with a simple principle: bringing opportunities where they're truly needed.
The decision is based on several key criteria:
- concrete social needs related to unemployment, economic inactivity, and vulnerability
- the stability and reliability of local partner organizations
- potential impact of the initiatives
- ability to implement sustainable measures over time
Let's build it together
We believe in the value of local networks and collaboration.
That is why our goal is to collaborate with agencies, organizations, and institutions that know the local communities and understand their real needs.
If you are an organization interested in developing projects with us, we would be happy to hear from you.
”This Foundation is not just a new project, but a concrete commitment—a choice rooted in responsibility and vision. Its mission will be to support, through grants, initiatives capable of generating real impact: training programs, job placement services, and all activities that can offer people opportunities, growth, and dignity.
