The situation in Greece has been dire for the past 10 years. High unemployment rates, indebtedness, diminished income, deteriorating savings, are some of the challenges affecting us all, whether we have a job, or searching for one. At the same time, employability requirements are increasing, and many jobs remain vacant due to lack of skills.

To combat this unprecedented phenomenon that has led people living in grim conditions, knowl Social Enterprise for Education and Life Long Learning developed in 2015 Mellon (Greek word for ‘Future’, i.e. ‘Mέλλον’) Skills Accelerator, an award-winning skills development and empowerment program that has improved the lives of hundreds of people suffering from social exclusion, marginalization and poverty by up-skilling & re-skilling them to successfully claim their ideal job.
