The South Aegean Region and the University of the Aegean are launching a new round of free training through Aegean Skills, supporting lifelong learning and the development of modern professional skills.
Starting in March, the programmes are open to employees, tourism professionals, teachers, business owners, unemployed people and any interested resident of the South Aegean Region.
Tourism, technology, first aid and traditional arts
Particular emphasis is placed on tourism. Subjects include reception and customer service, tourism marketing, digital accommodation management and foreign languages for professional use, with the aim of improving service quality and business competitiveness.
Other programmes strengthen digital skills and the use of modern technological tools among educators and professionals. The new round includes educational robotics, developing activities in modern programming environments, using interactive whiteboards and developing innovative business ideas.
It also includes transferable skills, such as effective communication, alongside first-aid training with a practical approach and realistic scenarios.
Preserving the islands' cultural identity is another priority. In-person workshops in local communities cover photography and traditional creative activities, including pebble mosaics, mosaics, crochet, embroidery and pottery.
The partnership between the South Aegean Region and the University of the Aegean provides a modern, flexible educational model. It brings knowledge closer to residents and connects training with the actual needs of island economies and communities.
Participation is free for South Aegean Region residents.
