Development of skills
In order to preserve the important heritage of its technical know-how, to develop it and transfer it to the new generations, Snam established the Skill Centres, namely groups of people across the organisational structures with consolidated and recognised know-how and expertise in specific areas that are important for the business. The main objective of the project is to monitor, develop and disseminate corporate know-how also through innovative training activities and professional development.
These centres are supported by an internal faculty of 80 employees who transfer their technical and business expertise to other colleagues through a “by Snam to Snam” approach. In 2019 the faculty provided around 1,200 teaching hours, contributing to the training of approximately 600 people.
Skill Centres
Snam and the school
Snam’s activities aimed at the world of the education continued with:
Young Energy, project, in its third edition, designed to facilitate the orientation of students and bring them closer to the world of work through initiatives focused on its business. At the start of the project, Snam hired 18 young people from the institutes involved and, during the current academic year, Young Energy will operate in 5 regions and 8 further education colleges, involving around 800 students in training activities.
“Thumbs Up Youth Award”, an initiative dedicated to sustainable development as part of the school/work alternation project in which around 400 third and fourth grade students were involved.. Under the scope of the project implemented by the Thumbs Up association, with the support of the Cariplo Foundation and in partnership with the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Snam involved around 60 students of the Liceo Statale “G.B. Vico (Milan) in proposing solutions for energy efficiency solutions at their school.
Training
In 2019 114,179 training hours were supplied (+5.9% compared to 2018) with 26,518 participants (+89% compared to 2018) involving 99% of the corporate population. The increase is also due to the provision of e-learning to the entire corporate population with 5 modules of around 1 hour each on Compliance which dealt with the issues of Market Abuse, Privacy, Model 231, Anti-corruption and Antitrust. On average 37.7 hours per employee were provided (38.41 hours on average for male staff and 33.75 for female staff).

Training plays a fundamental role in supporting the management and the entire company population to develop technical skills, managerial capacity and health and safety information.
Specifically, as far as managerial training is concerned, the Inspire the Future course that involved 40 managers from Snam and its subsidiaries (Desfa, Gas Connect Austria, TAG and Teréga) can be highlighted. The course, with contents and expertise aimed at encouraging a strategic vision, the capacity to promote innovation and the ability to steer personnel in transition, consisted of three modules (Leading Strategy, Driving Decisions through Innovation, Leader as a Coach & Corporate Storytelling) and at three different locations (Milan, London, Paris).
During the year around 20,291 hours of training attended by 2,916 participants were delivered on health and safety. Training on health and safety was also delivered during HSEQ courses (6,685 hours of HSEQ training with 1,505 participants). The Snam Institute signed a collaboration agreement on these topics with the Corpo Nazionale dei Vigili del Fuoco (National Fire Service) to provide training to technical personnel through courses on the safe management of gas infrastructures, fire prevention and other issues related to transportation, storage and regasification activities.
In addition, on matters of business ethics and anti-corruption, in 2019 4,028 hours of training were provided with 3,981 participants.
