The teaching and administrative staff of the Vocational Training and Lifelong Learning Center of the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) welcome you to the Center’s website.
In its 100 years of existence, AUEB has been a key educational pillar supporting the country's economic development, and in particular having trained a large part of the upper management personnel of the country's economic and business life. Starting the second 100 years of its life by responding to the demands of the times and using modern technological solutions, AUEB offers, through the Center, vocational training programs to the public, both synchronous (in-class or remotely, via live streaming) and asynchronous (eLearning).
The Center was established by Law 4485/2017 (Government Gazette 1/issue B/04-01-2018). It is a distinct unit of AUEB and the successor of the now-defunct Vocational Training Center. The Center operates within the framework of the Operations Regulation approved by the Senate of AUEB and published in the Government Gazette (no. 3642, issue B, 27-08-2018). It is governed by the Center Council, which consists of the Vice-Rector for Research and Lifelong Learning, who acts as Chair, a representative from each School of AUEB, and the Director. All vocational training programs implemented by the Center are proposed to the Council by the institution's faculty, and if successfully vetted by the Council are submitted to the Rector's Council for approval.
A large part of the Center’s activity comprises custom-made programs, which cater to the needs of specific organizations. Since the inauguration of the Center in 2018, more than 50 such programs have been implemented.
The high scientific training and the range of international collaborations of AUEB’s faculty have created a culture of extroversion, innovation, and persistence on excellence that, in the case of the Center, has resulted in high-quality programs that consider current technological developments, cover a wide range of fields, and can make a difference in the job market. We encourage you to explore the programs we offer and find the one or ones that will support you in taking the next step in your professional training.
