Description
After a decade-long crisis, unemployment in Greece is still officially 13 percent -- 28 percent among those aged under 25 -- making finding a job all the more problematic for the country's more than 6,000 refugees. One non-profit group believes it has the solution: based in the industrial district of Rentis near Piraeus, Odyssea has assisted some 2,500 beneficiaries since 2016 either through courses or follow-up support, with another 3,000 applicants currently seeking to join. Founded soon after over a million Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis and other persons fleeing conflict arrived in Europe, the group named after Homer's epic of adversity helps to prepare job seekers for the arduous task of finding employment in post-crisis Greece.
