The platform for the registration of interested participants in the upcoming outreach action “Rebrain Greece” of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has been launched, which will take place on Saturday, 28 November in Munich, Germany, with the participation of 28 major business groups operating in our country.
Interested citizens can submit a declaration of participation at the relevant electronic address. It is noted that participation in the “Rebrain Greece” action is free of charge.
The purpose of “Rebrain Greece” and the events organized by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security is the connection of highly specialized Greek professionals who live and work abroad with major businesses operating in Greece and seeking specialized executives for key positions.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about career prospects in the Greek labor market, conduct in-person interviews, and consider the possibility of returning in order to contribute on their part to the productive reconstruction the country is attempting, having demonstrated in the recent period significant performance in reducing unemployment and increasing employment, as well as in improving working conditions.
“Registrations for the networking action in Munich have begun and we invite interested parties to participate. The significant success of the previous ReBrain Greece actions gives us the impetus to continue, this time in a city with a strong presence of the Greek diaspora and Greek professionals who excel in cutting-edge sectors for our country.
We are giving participating businesses the opportunity to come into direct contact with talented Greeks abroad, collect CVs, and explore collaborations to fill highly specialized job positions.
At the same time, interested parties will have the opportunity to get to know the career prospects, development opportunities, and attraction incentives offered by businesses. We continue to build bridges between Greeks abroad and the Greek labor market, creating more opportunities for their next professional step in their homeland”, stated the Minister of Labour and Social Security Niki Kerameus.
This is the 7th consecutive outreach action carried out by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security abroad.
Outreach actions had preceded, aimed at the repatriation of our fellow citizens who left abroad mainly during the years of the economic crisis, in London, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and New York.
Overall, more than 9,500 interested parties have participated in the events, who had the opportunity to be informed about developments in the labor market and to come into direct contact with 120 of the largest businesses operating in Greece, in order to explore their professional prospects.
It is recalled that according to the official data of Eurostat, in the period 2010 – 2024, 773,000 Greek citizens left the country and 473,000 have returned, that is, a reversal of 61.4% of the crisis brain drain.
