Odyssea AMKE

Odyssea is a non-profit organization founded in 2016 that supports vulnerable young people in order to best claim their right for employment opportunities in society. Odyssea equips its beneficiaries with the skills to be competitive in the job market by providing tailored vocational and life-skills training and offering employability services. Our mission is to ensure that people have equal opportunities by harnessing the power of knowledge for employment and personal development. We place people in the heart of the programs and services we develop, with the aim to meet their needs and help them gain the skills and confidence to become productive members in society. Through our free-of-charge vocational training courses, we ensure that all people have equal access to vocational education and empower them to believe in their own ability to shape their future and contribute to progressing their own life and their community. dyssea is determined to support young vulnerable people by implementing a holistic approach to assist equally unemployed young Greeks and guest communities to integrate into society. Our experience in workforce development integration programs for vulnerable diverse groups showcases that non-discrimination between vulnerable host and guest communities accelerates the integration of refugees and migrants in the workplace. Odyssea is also a data-driven organization that utilizes well-documented processes and information to best respond to specific tasks and swiftly adapts to change. In that mindset, we have designed, developed, and implemented a range of custom digital tools to organize, monitor and scale our work, and measure our impact. By using data analytics, we enhance our commitment to an evidence-based model for decision-making and can share valuable data and good practices with our sponsors, the job market, and other stakeholders of the humanitarian ecosystem.
