IEC work permit conversion in another type of work permit

[Argel]

Hi guys, as I am new to the blog I will probably ask a question already made by someone else (sorry for that).
I am in the IEC program and because I am Italian, I have only 6 months work permit (not renewable).
Is there the possibility to have another type of work permit and stay longer? (for example, if you get a declaration form from your employer)??
I am not working at the moment but I have a proposal from an employer (looking for someone to work for him temporary) but he is scared not to be able to let me stay....
I am confused because I had advices from everywhere and they are all different.......
If anyone can help me....I will appreciate

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

You don't qualify for an open work permit.

However you could qualify to apply for a closed work permit if you can find an employer who is willing to offer you a job and can also obtain an approved Labour Market Opinion (LMO). The LMO process is quite involved. You can read more about it here:
