Greece continues to increase career prospects for students in vocational and technical schools by offering a wider choice of new specialities for the “Postsecondary Year – Apprenticeship Class”.
The Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs has developed eight new specialities in vocational education that currently offers programmes such as:
• Floriculture and Landscape Architecture • Logistics and Supply Chain Assistant • Jewelry and Silversmith • Food and Beverage Technology Technician • Fashion & Design Production
Following the Ministerial Decision Φ7/79564/Δ4/29-5-2019 (Government Gazette 1936/Β’), the next phase of the project will consist of developing the curricula with eight new sectors for corresponding specialities of vocational education schools.
