There will be several key issues that will be debated at Oroarezzo 2023, from 13 to 16 May at Arezzo Fiere e Congressi. At the international event dedicated to the production of gold, silver and jewelery made in Italy, organized by the Italian Exhibition Group, there will be talks, for example, of how to attract young talents and bring the new generations closer to the many opportunities offered by the gold and jewelery sector.
The event therefore renews the commitment to support the Italian goldsmith and jewelery by promoting initiatives related to young people, their involvement and their professional growth within companies.
According to data from a recent mapping carried out at national level by Confindustria Federorafi, the number of new jobs required by goldsmith companies to deal with generational turnover in the next 5 years is close to 10% of the total current workforce. An urgent problem, to be tackled with systemic action, starting with training.
