Funding with a Training Voucher (Voucher Κατάρτισης) in Greece
A practical guide to applying for a Greek training voucher—and using funded training to move into tech.
What is a Training Voucher in Greece?
In Greece, many upskilling and reskilling initiatives are implemented through the national eVoucher platform (voucher.gov.gr) and use a Training Voucher (Voucher Κατάρτισης / επιταγή κατάρτισης). In simple terms, the voucher is a way to subsidise vocational training with approved providers, often connected to a recognised certification process.
Training vouchers are commonly used in programmes run by the Public Employment Service (DYPA) and other public bodies. Depending on the call, programmes can target unemployed jobseekers, private‑sector employees, or other groups, with training topics aligned to in‑demand skills.
Does it cover full tuition?
Coverage depends on the specific call. Many voucher programmes cover the training cost and may also include a certification voucher and/or a training allowance. Your eligibility and what’s funded will be stated in the programme’s official invitation and the voucher.gov.gr listing.
Who can apply?
Eligibility varies by programme. Training voucher calls in Greece typically require that you:
-
Can apply through the official platform
Applications are usually submitted online through voucher.gov.gr using TAXISnet credentials. Depending on the call, you may be asked to provide documents such as identification and proof of studies or employment.
-
Fall into an eligible target group (depending on the call), such as:
-
Unemployed jobseekers registered with DYPA
Some voucher calls are designed for registered unemployed participants and link training to in-demand skills (for example, digital and green skills), typically with an associated certification step.
-
Private‑sector employees (upskilling programmes)
Other calls focus on private‑sector employees and may include subsidised training, certification, and an allowance—depending on the programme’s rules and completion requirements.
