Best practice on skills development from Greece: The Institute of Greek Tourism Confederation

The Institute of a Greek Tourism Confederation was selected and presented as a best practice because it’s a particularly important initiative towards on the one hand identifying current and future skills needs and on the other hand developing broader reskilling and upskilling actions. The Confederation is a non-profit organisation that has been established as an important social partner, representing the Greek tourism industry both nationally and internationally. The Confederation’s Institute (best practice) has four major partner organisations: Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE), The Hellenic Hoteliers Federation (HHF), The Hellenic Association of Travel & Tourist Agencies (HATTA) and The Confederation of Entrepreneurs of Rented Rooms and Apartments (SETKE). The best practice presents a successful example, on how sectoral partners can develop a large-scale initiative to support lifelong learning through reskilling and upskilling actions. The Institute’s constant focus on skills development defines part of the educational culture of the Greek tourism sector.READ MORE
