collaboration with the <a href=\"https:\/\/greece.iom.int\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Organization for Migration (IOM)<\/a>, started on January 2020 the operation of an Integration Learning Center, within the framework of <a href=\"https:\/\/greece.iom.int\/en\/hellenic-integration-support-beneficiaries-international-protection-helios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HELIOS <\/a>&#8211; Hellenic Integration Support for Beneficiaries of International Protection project.<\/p>\n<p>The objective of HELIOS project is two-fold:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to increase beneficiaries of international protection\u00a0prospects towards self-reliance and support them in becoming active members of the Greek society, and;<\/li>\n<li>support the Greek authorities in establishing a sustainable integration mechanism for beneficiaries of international protection in Greece, as part of the overall Migration Management System in the country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The courses at the integration center are designed for refugees and focus on acquisition of Greek language skills and a variety of social skills, in order to <strong>promote the social integration, job readiness and to support their independent living in the country. <\/strong>The courses are offered either with physical presence or online, thus providing equal opportunities for all and assisting vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n<p>Each course lasts six months (with 360 teaching hours in total) and includes daily Greek language classes (including support to receive language certification) and a soft skills component including cultural orientation, job readiness and life skills.<\/p>\n<p>For our students who are parents, we offer them the opportunity to leave their children (2-7 years old) in the Recreational Space for Children, during their daily classes.<\/p>\n<p>Students also have access to a network of supportive activities, such as professional counseling and support services for independent housing.<\/p>\n<p><em>The project as of January 1st 2022 is funded through the co-financed part of the Public Investment Programme of the <a
