More than 42,000 unemployed applications were submitted in one week to participate in the new DYPA action to upgrade skills in digital and green skills. The platform will remain open until the prescribed positions are filled.
The “new generation” program, with a total budget of 100 million euros, aims at the professional training of 80,000 unemployed people and is implemented within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0” with funding from the European Union NextGenerationEU.
Of the 100 million euros, 50 million euros – which will cover 40,000 unemployed people – are allocated to the Education and Lifelong Learning Centers (KEDIVIM) of the 14 HEIs that have declared participation, while the remaining 50 million euros will be allocated to 181 specially licensed Lifelong Learning Centers owned by either private individuals or social partners, through whose programs the remaining 40,000 unemployed will be covered.
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.
Those who meet at least the following conditions have the right to submit a participation application for registration in the Register of Beneficiary Unemployed, phase A:
– They are registered in the DYPA Unemployment Register
-He is over 18 years old
-They are graduates of at least compulsory secondary education.
It is noted that each training program may require additional conditions for the participation of the beneficiaries. Specifically, any unemployed person who is interested is invited to proceed with the following steps:
Completes and submits the “Participation Application” electronically through the Unified Digital Portal of the Public Administration, logging in with TAXISnet codes, at https://www.gov.gr/ipiresies/ekpaideuse/katartise-kai-ekpaideutiko-periekhomeno/eggraphe-sto-metroo-opheloumenon-katartises-meso-ton-ke-di-bi-m-ton-ei-kai- ton-adeiodotemenon-kdbm
Attaches: 1) Copy of a valid Identity Card-Passport (identification), 2) Copy of a high school diploma, at least, of Compulsory Education or a higher degree, and 3) Responsible Declaration via gov.gr, in which he will state that he does not attend and/or has attended another training program financed by the Recovery & Resilience Fund, under action 16913 “SUB 2: Horizontal Upskilling Programs for targeted population groups” and has not attended a training program in the same subject, during the last 2 years before publication of this invitation
Attach a certificate of knowledge of the English language, if you have it
He keeps the proof of submission of his application, which states the “Participation Application Submission Code” (KAVAS) as well as the exact date and time of its submission. The KAVAS code is strictly personal and unique for each participation application, it is the proof of its submission and is used instead of the applicant’s name in all documents.
The Register of Beneficiaries phase A will be issued on August 25. Beneficiaries will then be able to choose the training program they wish to follow, from the list of offered training programs displayed to the beneficiary, according to the educational level (compulsory education graduate, secondary, tertiary, etc.) as well as the others academic qualifications that he has declared himself. This list will be constantly updated.
The selection of the unemployed and their registration in the Register of Beneficiaries will take place in the 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 3 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 education (e-learning), which will include at least 35% synchronous and up to 30% asynchronous distance education.
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 Knowledge and Skills Certification 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.
The six key innovations of the “new generation” training programs are:
A part of the payment of providers and beneficiaries – specifically 30% – is linked to the certification. Only if the beneficiary passes the certification exams will they receive the full training allowance, both themselves and their chosen training provider
The Register of Training Providers is activated, which provides for strict qualitative and quantitative criteria regarding the technical and financial adequacy of the providers
The “gamut” of training options is substantially expanded, with more than 250 different high-demand subjects and an increased emphasis on digital and “green” skills
It is possible to be certified by major international technology companies, following DYPA’s collaborations with Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Cisco
Providers will now be assessed on whether they contribute to upgrading the skills of the beneficiaries and whether they actually lead the beneficiaries to the labor market
Finally, for the first time all training programs are audited by an independent body, in order to ensure the quality of the training material provided.
