SOCIETY

In all areas where the Group operates in Greece, and especially in the large urban centers of Attica, Thessaloniki and Patras.

The framework of Youth Matters initiatives to be implemented needs the active participation and cooperation with dozens of agencies at the national level and beyond. For example:

• ReGeneration is a pioneering action of the Global Shapers Athens Hub, an initiative of the World Economic Forum and was presented in Greece in 2014. It was created with the aim of contributing to tackling both youth unemployment and the "brain drain" phenomenon, i.e. the trend of notable new graduates to go abroad to find jobs.
• TITAN, in collaboration with ReGeneration and training partner Code.Hub, implements an innovative skills development "academy" aimed at young men and women with an interest in the field of data (data science).
• Until today, the Company has signed 10 cooperation protocols with six departments of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) (Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Geology, Economics), with two departments of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) (Chemical Engineers, Mining Engineers-Metallurgists), with the Department of Business Administration of the University of the Aegean and with the American College of Greece - Deree College. Through internships, the young people who participate in them can acquire further knowledge, technical experience and previous service.
• 84 University institutions in Greece and Abroad
• The "GEFYRA" (Greek Enterprises For Youth Reinforcement Acceleration) program was developed by the CSR Hellas Network utilizing the experience from its participation in the European Pact 4 Youth initiative.
• BEST (Board of European Students of Technology) is the organization of students studying technology in European universities and polytechnics, with more than 3,300 members in 33 countries.
• Youth Entrepreneurship Association (SEN) - Junior Achievement Greece (JA), aimed at secondary education students of public and private schools from all over Greece. Since 2005, more than 35 staff members have volunteered their time and expertise in 28 schools.
• TITAN welcomes students for paid internships from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). In addition, Titans gives the opportunity to children of employees, studying at universities or universities abroad, to be employed for a month in various centers of the Company's activity, gaining important knowledge and experience. The condition for participation is that they have completed at least the 1st year of their studies.
• Future Leaders AMKE supports the new graduates and postgraduate students of Greek and foreign Universities to successfully join the labor market, as well as to become the leaders of the future.
• Kindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools and high schools
• Museums such as the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology and the Heraklion Museum
• Various bodies such as the National Observatory of Athens, Democritus and the Institute for Environmental Research and Sustainable Development
• State bodies, public services and Ministries

For the implementation of all the initiatives that participate in the Youth Matters framework, the voluntary participation of employees in all stages of their implementation is essential. As an example, we mention that more than 145 top executives of the TITAN Group took on the role of trainer, offering 300 days of volunteer work. Also, since 2005, more than 35 of our executives from various departments and activity centers have declared their "present", volunteering their time and experience, in 28 schools.
