For the first time, the Ministry of Labor is mapping out future professions, aiming to present the data in schools, specifically to Gen Z (1997-2012), to assist them in their career choices, according to Kathimerini. The data, sourced from “Ergani” and EFKA, is being used for the first time to benefit the public, particularly the younger generation.
The relevant authorities have identified 15 key future professions: Network and database engineer, software development engineer, computer systems and networks technician, industrial installations technician, automation technician, building electronics technician for wireless connections, advanced systems refrigeration technicians, IoT engineers, healthcare professionals and personal medical support service providers, medical equipment operators and maintenance personnel, food safety and quality management professionals, mining sector supervisors, export promotion and supply chain management professionals, electronic systems installation and network technicians, and construction machinery operators.
Fields such as Applied Informatics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and Business Administration offer degrees that will be in demand.
Specialized professions are part of a broader framework of sectors that will have a future in Greece. The General Directorate of Labor Relations has identified four key sectors that will be in demand in the coming decades: 1. Tourism and hospitality, 2. Information and communication technology, 3. Renewable energy industry, 4. Agriculture and food technology.
According to the same article, the government has expressed its intention to strengthen vocational education and career guidance in secondary education through bills introduced by the former Minister of Education and current Minister of National Economy and Finance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis.
