What is SIISL and how it works

The SIISL (Information System for Social and Labour Inclusion) is the Ministry of Labour's digital platform that coordinates active and inclusion policies in Italy.
Through the portal, citizens can:

•  enter your details and fill in your CV;
•  declare willingness to work or undergo training;
• sign online the activation agreements to start the inclusion process.

The system networks job centres, employment agencies, training providers and social services, allowing for an integrated and customised management of job placement pathways.

What is the Digital Activation Pact (DAP)

The Digital Activation Pact (DAP) is the agreement that the citizen signs directly on the SIISL to access support measures such as the Inclusion Allowance (ADI). By signing the PAD, the person:

• declares readiness to participate in work or training;
• authorises the sharing of their data with the entities involved;
• undertakes to appear at the scheduled interviews and convocations.

The signing of the PAD is indispensable to activate the economic benefit and start the pathway to employment.
