INPS Inaugurates New Regional Training Center in Naples to Modernize Public Sector and Welfare
Naples, January 15, 2026 – A new regional training center for the National Institute of Social Security (INPS) was inaugurated this morning at Via Medina 61 in Naples. This initiative aims to establish a new training model designed to support the evolution of public sector work and welfare.
The training courses offered at the center will cater to employees of the INPS Regional Directorate and the Naples Metropolitan Coordination Directorate. Investing in training is deemed essential by INPS, given the increasing demand for services, continuous regulatory and procedural updates, and the growing integration of artificial intelligence into operations.
A Proactive Approach to Training
Gaetano Fava, President of INPS, explained, “In Naples, a new training model is being launched, one that is no longer passive but proactive and concrete. It will be instrumental for the stable integration and future of our young people, and for the retraining of those over 55 in line with new work models.”
The two main classrooms within the center have been dedicated to Melania Rea, a victim of femicide, and Luana D’Orazio, who tragically died at 22 in a workplace accident. Vincenzo Tedesco, Regional Director of INPS, clarified, “During discussions with staff representatives, the desire emerged to dedicate the two classrooms to Melania Rea and Luana D’Orazio. I welcomed these proposals, which demonstrate the Institute’s commitment not only to providing services and collecting contributions but also as an active public administration in promoting a culture of rights.”
Naples as a Potential Interregional Hub
According to Tedesco, Naples could also evolve into an interregional hub for INPS. Addressing the issue of declining birth rates, the director highlighted that “in Campania, the problem manifested later than in other regions and is still less pronounced, but it is nonetheless present, especially in inland areas.”
He added, “The issue concerns the balance between the provision of benefits and the collection of contributions: with fewer workers, criticalities could emerge in the long term. The solution is an increase in employment levels, which in Campania still remain low.”
The new center underscores INPS’s commitment to adapting to contemporary challenges and fostering a skilled workforce capable of meeting the evolving needs of the Italian social security system.
