In total 70,000 unemployed who have completed training programs of their choice and are certified in digital and green skills, have already received the training allowance up to 1,000 euros.

As the Public Employment Service (DYPA) states in its announcement, 83% of the beneficiaries who have completed the certification process and for whom all the required supporting documents and documents have been posted by the training and certification providers have been repaid.

The program for acquiring and upgrading the skills of the unemployed is implemented within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0”. It is pointed out that the project is financed, through the European Union NextGenerationEU and specific actions are required, as well as administrative, on-site and sample checks, to ensure the repayment of trainees and training and certification providers.

Also, please note that individual delays are often due in not posting all the necessary documents from training and certification providers. “In order to protect the beneficiaries from such practices”, DYPA notes that, recently, it activated a strict framework of penalties for those providers who are late.
