A Call for Readiness This Catalogue of the Hellenic American Union s professional training programs is a call for readiness. The economic crisis in Greece has ushered in changes in the country s labor market that have long been apparent in other Western economies. More and more workers are switching jobs, sometimes in the same company or industry, but sometimes, too, in totally new job positions. On average, workers will change jobs 7 8 times in their lives, whether that means switching employers, adapting to significant changes in the content of their existing jobs, or responding to radically new challenges. At the Hellenic American Union we pay close attention to developments in the labor market. We analyze data on labor demand, and examine what companies are looking for in the men and women they hire and employ. We know that businesses expect their employees to be flexible and to acquire, often on their own initiative, further specialization to support the company s future development. Individuals who respond to these challenges have an advantage over colleagues who don t update their portfolio of knowledge, skills and experience. Which are you? Which category of employees do you identify with? What knowledge and skills do you have that you can be proud of and that could guarantee your employability in the future? Don t wait until a promotion opens up at work, or even worse, until you lose your job, to acquire these skills and knowledge. Prepare yourself ahead of time with optimism and self-confidence for the next day. For 57 years, the Hellenic American Union has been a pioneer in the field of professional training, even before the term was coined. This training catalog is a call for readiness. Ι invite you to browse through it. I am confident that you will find a program that addresses your training needs or those of your staff and colleagues. Vicky Branika Chief Operating Officer 3
