Research and Tools. Published by AIF (Italian Association of Professional Trainers) FOR is aimed at vocational training professionals working in corporations and organizations (private, public, non-profit), counselling societies, educational centres, schools, universities or freelance.

FOR is organised in three Sections:
- Studies and Research

- Planning of training events;
- Scheduling and coordinating of training programmes;
- Class management;

FOR is a useful tool for all professionals working in the education sector: researchers, educational programme planners, project managers, product managers, educational programme coordinators, course tutors, professional trainers, programme directors, programme evaluators, quality managers and directors of centres, business schools and master programmes. In addition, FOR can help educational science students and young professionals improve their teaching and self-training skills. Most papers contain useful tips for professionals who act as part-time trainers in the corporations they work for. The journal can also help supervisors involved in the training of newly hired employees by helping them find out about and teach best practices, standards and techniques.
