What we can offer partners
We're a certified lifelong-learning centre in Thessaloniki with 30 years of experience, and we're a dependable partner to have in Greece. In practice, we can offer:
A reliable host on the ground. We arrange real work placements across Greece, mainly in tourism and hospitality, with double-room accommodation and all meals included. We're hosting groups right now, so we're ready to take yours.
The full support package. From the first welcome and orientation to mentoring, weekly check-ins, in-house psychological and career support, and a Europass certificate at the end — we look after participants from arrival to departure.
All the paperwork handled. Learning agreements, monitoring, certification and reporting are taken care of, so partners don't carry the admin.
A strong local network. We work with the Thessaloniki Professional Chamber, local employers, the public employment service, councils, training centres, universities and NGOs — which means good placements and quick problem-solving.
Experience that travels. We host 100+ Erasmus+ participants a year (adult education and VET) and run ALMA and Erasmus+ groups side by side, so we know how to manage scale and different participant profiles.
Project partnership too. Beyond hosting, we can join or lead cooperation projects (Erasmus+ KA2, ESF+) — bringing experience in tourism training, migrant inclusion, women's empowerment, autism inclusion and adult education.
A destination people remember. Thessaloniki and Greece add culture, sunshine and a welcoming setting that make the experience meaningful, not just useful.
