Despina Tsiakalou, our Senior Regional Manager for Greece and Europe, shares how our work in Greece began and why it matters more than ever. We launched our programmes in Greece in 2018, in the aftermath of the financial crisis, when youth unemployment was a critical challenge. Our ambition was clear: to ensure young people could access meaningful, sustainable work whether by gaining the skills employers need or by starting their own businesses. Since then, we’ve supported over 6,000 young people through our #Achieve, Enterprise and Employability programmes, with a growing focus on areas that are often underserved including northern Greece and the islands, and on bridging the gap between education and employment. This impact is only possible through strong local partnerships. Working alongside Bizrupt, 100mentors, Corallia, Scouts of Greece and The Tipping Point in Education, we tailor our programmes to local needs while maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding, quality and impact, something Despina helps ensure across the region. 👉Learn more about our work in Greece: https://lnkd.in/eAe_xyAq #YouthOpportunity #DecentWork #YouthInGreece #WorkingForYoungPeople
