Pegaso was founded in 1998 as a consortium of social enterprises and its aim is to answer to the training needs of the corporate clients. Pegaso is a training agency accredited by Tuscan Region, to provide training programmes both for workers and for unemployed people. Pegaso works above all with European Social Fund, but also provides private, not funded courses. Pegaso's activities range from training needs analysis, to designing and organizing training programmes, to the financial reporting, as in case of funded activities. As a consortium, they have about twenty associated enterprises all over Tuscany, some of them are small, some are larger (over 500 workers). Pegaso employs 7 people, 5 women and 2 men, 4 are part time and 3 full time. Pegaso is specialised in providing training programmes for social workers and is aware of all issues related to social inclusion and integration, and many of its activities are dedicated especially for disadvantaged people. 
Pegaso is strongly interested in this "Partnership for strengthening social inclusion" because one of their objectives, established in the statute itself of the Consortium, is to facilitate the inclusion of disadvantaged people, and to achieve this objective, Pegaso organises several training programmes dedicated to them and also to the social workers working with them. Therefore they are interested in all the issues concerning working with disadvantaged, and particularly in improving the skills and competencies of professionals working in different ways for the social inclusion of these people.
 Within the partnership they intend to share and learn best practices that will, on the long term, hopefully develop into a project aiming to outline the necessary skills and competencies of workers in order to achieve the social inclusion.
No previous experience of participation in the Partnerships action under the current Lifelong Learning Programme.
