In particular it has been secured 1 billion for 500.000 beneficiaries.

The government and the responsible Minister of Labor have repeatedly pointed out that they are working on two fundamental reforms.:
– The first concerns the redesign of the training system in order to address the chronic inherent pathogenesis we have identified.
– The second reform concerns the reform of passive employment policies with the aim of strengthening the social security network and promoting labor market participation.. The aim of the government is the faster reintegration of the unemployed into the labor market with more skills and the cessation of payment of an unpaid allowance.
Certification
The way in which employees are trained will be modernized through the legislation that is being promoted., in order for the certification to be of a high level and based on international standards that will meet the needs of the labor market.
The new training programs will focus on the following categories:
Basic digital skills. The actions will target the long-term unemployed and those who do not have basic digital skills, are disconnected from work, as well as public sector employees, including teachers who may lack basic digital skills.
Intermediate digital skills in sales, marketing, customer management etc.. in matters of data analysis, digital marketing, programming, network support, digital design, etc.. The actions will be aimed at employees in the private sector, especially those at high risk of unemployment and SME workers, as well as to public sector employees in jobs that require intermediate skills, including teachers who use digital learning tools in their classrooms.
"Green" skills, related to the transition to a green economy. It concerns training programs in specialized green skills, such as skills that support the low carbon industry, climate dependence and natural resource management, with particular emphasis on addressing current and projected STEM skills shortages (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), which can act as an obstacle to green growth.
OAED is already collaborating for the implementation of training programs with companies of global giants in this field, such as Google, Cisco, Amazon.
