The Central Union of Chambers of Greece, anticipating the digital skills gap in the private sector, started to implement a subsidised upskilling programme for all employees since May 2020.

- Basic ICT usage skills
- Web design specialist for Mobile Device Applications
- Software applications technician
- Database developer
- Electronic network calculator technician
- It Security technician;
- Social media marketing technician and tools
- Electronic Commerce Systems Specialist (E-COMMERCE)
These subjects were selected as they are in line with the orientation of strengthening and developing digital skills and are in line with the overall need for digital transformation. It is striking that 23.274 applications were made for participation,while the project as a whole concerned the provision of services for 15.000 beneficiaries, which demonstrates both an interest in the project and a high demand for such actions.
