The aim is to qualitatively upgrade the knowledge and skills of the unemployed, through continuing professional training programs that respond to the needs of the economy, in order to strengthen their employability and achieve their work reintegration more quickly.

Beneficiaries will be able to choose the training program they wish to follow from the list of offered training programs, which is displayed to the beneficiary, according to the educational level (compulsory education graduate, secondary, tertiary, etc.), as well as the other academic qualifications which he himself has declared. This list will be constantly updated.

The selection of the unemployed and their registration in the register of beneficiaries will be done in order of priority of submission of the application, as long as the individual conditions for participation in the training program they choose are met (such as unemployment, educational level, knowledge of a foreign language, where required, etc.) and until exhaustion of the offered seats.

Each trainee will attend a theoretical training program concerning the development of digital and green knowledge and skills, with a total duration of up to 200 hours, which must be completed within three months at the latest. The implementation will be carried out with live training at a rate of at least 35% and with the method of distance training (e-learning), which will include at least 35% synchronous and up to 30% asynchronous distance training.

Beneficiaries who will complete the training are required to participate in the certification exams. Each beneficiary who completes the vocational training program and obtains the certification of knowledge and skills is entitled to receive an educational allowance amounting to 5 euros/hour of training, so for a 200-hour program it reaches 1,000 euros.
