Boost Vocational Development with an Education Partnership

The worlds of education, training and work have been quite apart in Greece. As a result, the skills needed by the labor market are not always anticipated, and young graduates struggle to find positions that match their qualification.

The government seeks to reinforce work-based components of education and training, to address the challenges Greece currently faces such as competitiveness, youth unemployment and social inclusion. Reconciling students and parents with Vocational Training and promoting it as an educational option of equal standing, has thus become an essential element of the Greek government’s reforms.
