Mission
The mission of CIOFS-FP is to take care of young people by offering them guidance, training and opportunities for employment. Our target groups are individuals who have a special propensity for applying the principles of operativeness and experimentation.

We put at their service tools such as training projects, guidance activities and the possibility of working in a network referring to human and Christian values. Our goal is the development of a professional and cultural project that accompanies young people from their education to the workplace.
