Work & Career Pathways in Italy
Italy lets them earn, grow, and stay during their degree and long after graduation
Part‑Time Work While You Study
Up to 20 hours a week (1 040 hrs a year) on a student permit.
Average pay €8–€9 per hour → ≈ €180/week (≈ €720/month)—enough to cover rent and groceries in most cities.
Premium gigs: English tutoring, language‑assistant posts, or research roles pay €13–€18/h; private lessons can still fetch €30+.
Campus jobs, cafés, retail, and seasonal tourism roles remain plentiful around Italian universities.
Semester breaks let you switch to full‑time hours and build extra savings.
Post-Study Work Option
1
Job‑Search Residence Permit (Permesso di Soggiorno “Ricerca Lavoro”)
Apply within 12 months of graduation.
Valid up to 12 months while you look for a job or launch a start‑up.
2
Work Permit (Permesso di Lavoro)
Convert your job‑search permit once you sign an Italian employment contract.
The employer files most paperwork; you provide the contract, passport, and proof of housing.
Road to Permanent Residency (PR):
5 years of continuous, lawful residence (study time + work time both count).
Show stable income, suitable housing, and A2‑level Italian.
Earn the EU Long‑Term Residence Permit—Italy’s version of PR that unlocks public benefits and unlimited career mobility.
Beyond Italy: Work Across Schengen:
With the EU Long‑Term Residence Permit or an EU Blue Card you can:
Live & work in another Schengen country for up to 90 days every 180 days, or
Relocate permanently after as little as 18 months (Blue Card route) by meeting that country’s salary and contract rules.
No extra visas needed for short business trips within the 26‑nation Schengen Area.
