Abstract: This paper studies the effects on long term labour market success of the provision of intensive skills training courses offered in 2013-14 to adult unemployed workers in the north-east of Italy. We find a substantial effect, which persists well into the fourth year after the beginning of the course. From a methodological viewpoint, we argue, as proposed by Angrist and Rokkanen (2015) that the set-up is equivalent to a randomised controlled trial, in view of the fact that the criterion which determines admission to the course is unrelated to the outcomes of interest.
