Bonisoli: I called for a competition for 4,377 posts over the next three years

The Minister of Cultural Heritage, Alberto Bonisoli, has submitted a formal request to the Ministry of Civil Service to launch a competition for the recruitment of 4,377 new staff over the three-year period 2019-2021, including 2,943 classified in Area II and 1,434 in Area III. He announced this today during Question Time in the Senate. “I have already had the opportunity to address this issue during my hearing on the Ministry’s programmatic lines, held before the Culture Committees of the House and Senate in joint session,” Bonisoli explained: the Mibac has a staffing gap of 3,260, including 23 managers. And the deficit, ministerial officials calculate, will rise to 4,431 (including 39 managers) until 2021: a new competition is ncessary to stem this hemorrhage of workers.

The minister also recalled that urgent procedures have already been launched “aimed at recruiting management personnel. In particular, in July, we requested authorization from the Ministry of Civil Service to hold a competition for the selection of 5 executive architects and 4 executive archaeologists. In August, the Ministry also asked for authorization to hold competitions to select a total of 17 technical managers (archivists and administrative managers) and to hire another 9 (art historians) with sliding rankings. In the same vein, we signed an agreement in July with the trade unions to hold an internal competition for the transfer of areas of current staff.” In conclusion, the minister said, “it is my intention, when holding the competitions, to identify an order of priority of the profiles deemed most urgent, based on the indications that I have gathered in particular from the Superintendencies, including at a recent meeting held at the Ministry with the presence of all the Superintendents.”

Today’s announcement thus follows the minister’s previous releases on the subject: in mid-July, during a Question Time in the Chamber of Deputies, he had said that he believed a 6,000-post competition was necessary, while in August, at a hearing before the Culture Commission, he had expressed his willingness to launch a 2,000-post competition for 2019.
