Post-secondary/vocational education in Greece

Περίληψη

Post-secondary education in the Greek educational system is mainly represented by Vocational Training Institutes (V.T.I.) public and private, which have existed in this area for almost thirty years. Their main purpose is the basic training of students (the majority of whom are adults), through a wide variety of specialties they provide and then their smooth transition to the labor market. In the article, first a bibliographic review is made, mainly in post-secondary education (institutional framework, sectors - specialties, apprenticeship, N.O.C.Q.V.Q. certification) and then a series of actions are proposed which have as main goal strengthening this sector of education.
