EUROTraining – Greece
EUROTraining is one of the largest Greek educational organisations of national scope, specialised in the provision of VET courses at tertiary level, as well as various other training opportunities for adults. Its main objective is to bridge the gap between labour market demand and offer, thus its services are highly adaptive to reflect the constantly changing circumstances. At the core of its activities, EUROTraining strives for inclusive education, particularly caring for people in vulnerable positions, through its participation in both national and EU-funded Projects.
Long before COVID-19, the organisation had already incorporated a variety of digital tools in its provided training offers, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their place of residence within the country, is able to attend courses. Today, Eurotraining is considered a leading VET centre in terms of digital transformation of education and training, since its innovative methods are widely recognised at national and European level.
The organisation’s great impact on Greece’s VET sector is to a large extend due to the wide variety of training offers developed and provided (EQF levels 3-5). Among these, some of the most notable are the courses in: informatics and IT science, business management and entrepreneurship, environmental science and energy, tourism and hospitality services, culinary arts, educational science, and others. It also provides tailor made courses for professionals, including training for adults’ trainers, seminars on food hygiene and safety, and training for Data Protection Officers. Every year, more than 2.000 trainees choose EUROTraining for quality and applicable education and training.
Through its activities at national, European and international level, EUROTraining has developed a vast network of collaborators, including training organisations and Universities, NGOs and other social actors, public authorities, research institutes, labour market associations and chambers, SMEs, foundations, and others.
