A pilot program aimed at training jobless people in information technology for free has been created by Microsoft. If successful, the program hopes to be extended so that it is offered to all registered unemployed people around Greece.

The program is open to unemployed people registered with the Greek Manpower Organization (OAED) regardless of age, specialization or any other parameters. The free classes are offered through Microsoft’s international platform.

Students can choose from over 1,000 IT subjects such as operation systems, office applications, computer networks, ERP and CRM systems, databases, etc.
