Amitié was created in 1991 as part of a University-Enterprise Training Partnership in the framework of the COMETT Programme, sponsored by the European Commission, with the aim to promote training activities in the Information and Communication Technology sector. Amitié then created a private organisation carrying out the following activities:

• Research in the field of new methodologies of learning and in the labour market, focusing on analysis of employment needs, definition of new professional profiles, development of training curricula, identification of good practices and benchmarking, in particular in the sector of cultural heritage, new technologies and social research.
• Project Management, consulting and assistance for projects funded by European Commission, national and regional programmes. Amitié promotes, coordinates and develops projects, providing support to enterprises as well as to public and private organisations for the project management.
• Dissemination and promotion initiatives, organization of seminars, courses and infodays to allow a wide and efficient diffusion of the projects and products developed.
• Pilot training activities, both non formal and informal, mainly based on the use of e-learning, with the purpose to increase the accessibility of training courses and to customise them according to individual needs. Watching the current changes in the labour market, we undertake to analyse employment needs, professional training requests, the need of new skills and abilities, to guarantee a qualified employment respecting human dignity.
