Gold Award in the Best Youth Employment category at the HR Awards
and Global Distinction from Deloitte
October 2018
ATHENS – ReGeneration’s 7th cycle earned two very important distinctions highlighting the program’s perpetual effort to bridge the gap between young graduates and companies looking for talented professionals who wish to make a dynamic start to their careers.
The first is yet another Gold Award in the Best Youth Employment Initiative category of the HR Awards from HR Professional Magazine and Boussias Communications, while the second is a distinction from Deloitte and the Global Business Coalition for Education, the largest research and education center, which is honoring ReGeneration as a global case study on the future of work and the 4th Industrial Revolution, among other European initiatives.
ReGeneration’s successful course has earned the pioneering program a total of seven awards, six of them from HR Awards. The greatest recognition and success for ReGeneration, however, is the continuous increase in participants placed in the labor market, as well as an increase in participating partner companies. To date, more than 200 companies have already onboarded over 600 talented and young ReGeneration program participants. Continuous professional and personal development is the “cornerstone” of ReGeneration, which already counts 35,000 hours of training and 13,000 volunteer hours, while the program’s success was further augmented with the recent collaboration with Piraeus Bank and Project Future.
ReGeneration’s 7th cycle participants have completed the evaluation and selection process and now qualify for screening by companies who wish to hire junior staff from our program.
