The new training program for an additional 30,000 unemployed people who will receive a voucher of up to 1,000 euros is included in the decision of the DYPA Board of Directors.
In particular, the decision of the completed program for the training of 120,000 unemployed persons is amended and another 30,000 unemployed persons are added with a new amendment.
The object is the provision of theoretical training services – which will lead to certification of the knowledge and skills that will be acquired in the context of the training – and will be addressed to beneficiaries, registered in the Register of the unemployed of D.Y.P.A., over the age of 18 years. In particular, the services provided in the context of this project include:
- Theoretical training programs for the unemployed – beneficiaries lasting 50 – 200 hours that lead to the acquisition of digital “green” knowledge and skills, as will be described in each invitation.
II. Certification of the knowledge and skills that will be acquired in the context of the training programs.
TRAINING PROGRAMS
The implementation of continuing professional training programs is done by applying blended learning methods, i.e. with live and distance modern and asynchronous education.
In the case of distance education, a special digital learning platform is used for distance education, digital educational material, properly adapted to this method and appropriate procedures for evaluating and monitoring the trainees implemented by each K.E.D.I.V.M. AEI or K.D.V.M. This type of training is a flexible form of training, as there is no limitation of time and place. It is based on the principles of open education and serves the needs of personalized learning. Familiarity of trainees with modern and asynchronous e-learning tools is ensured.
At the same time, live training ensures the immediacy of teaching through the simultaneous presence in the classroom of the teacher and trainees and enhances the learning experience.
Each trainee will attend a theoretical Training program concerning the development of digital and “green” knowledge and skills, with a total duration of 50 to 200 hours. The implementation of the continuing training programs will be carried out with live training at a rate of at least 35% of the total hours of each program and with the method of distance education (e-learning), which will include at least 35% modern distance education and up to 30% asynchronous distance learning.
The daily duration of live education and modern distance education cannot exceed six (6) hours. The end time of live education and modern distance education should not exceed 22:00. Online education and modern distance education are not allowed on Sundays, as well as public holidays. Each training program, lasting up to 200 hours, must be completed within 3 months at the latest.
BENEFICIARIES – REGISTER OF BENEFICIARIES
In the context of the project, it is planned to train another 30,000 beneficiaries, through the Register of K.E.Di.V.M of HEIs and the Register of licensed K.D.B.M.
