Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Information Technology company NTT Data Italia is to hire about 300 workers, equally shared between the sites of Naples and Rende (Cosenza).
The Italian branch of the leader company NTT Data recruited 250 employees in 2016, out of the 300 announced in February (see NTT Data Italia-IT2016-1) and it intends to further expand its activities at the headquarters in Naples and the cybersecurity research and development centre in Rende.
According to the Chief Executive Officer, the decision to invest in Southern Italy is down to the good quality of local universities and high schools which supply students with the required skills.
The recruitment will target staff specialised in digital technologies and young graduates. The latter will be employed on a permanent basis after a brief period of apprenticeship.
