More than 10 programs of the Public Employment Service (DYPA, former OAED) will proceed within the year, creating a total of more than 86,000 new jobs. Tomorrow one of them starts.

Specifically, 6,500 young unemployed in Attica and 3,500 in Central Macedonia will have the opportunity to upgrade their qualifications and prepare for their integration into the labor market through this labor subsidy program. The program has a duration of 7 months. The DYPA will pay to the beneficiaries a monthly compensation equal to the statutory minimum net salary (with full insurance contributions).

"This programme is very useful for both businesses and young people. It has a very strong subsidy, equal to the minimum wage for 7 months and every young person who is currently looking for work should know about it, especially in the Regions of Attica and Central Macedonia. Talking today in this business with both the owners of the company and the employees who have used similar programs so far, the added value and usefulness of these programs is clearly shown."

Spyros Protopsaltis, DYPA commander

"Another action with an emphasis on young people starts tomorrow, giving the opportunity to 10,000 unemployed people to gain valuable experience and integrate into the labor market, but also to businesses to strengthen their staff. With a 100% grant, it is an attractive program that gives a strong incentive to hire unemployed people. We continue to invest in active employment policies, especially for groups facing significant obstacles, such as the young unemployed."
