Erasmus Project NewPOST

EUROCERT, the largest Greek Audit and Certification Body, is one of the key partners in the ERASMUS '' NeWPOST '' European Program.

NewPost is going to offer a new approach to the required skills needed for the postal sector, a vibrant economic sector in Europe. The postal sector plays a fundamental role in both businesses and EU citizens, with a significant contribution to the economy, close to 1% of EU GDP.

In 2014, the existing geographical and institutional barriers in the postal sector between EU countries aggravate e-commerce and parcel delivery, rendering postal services ineffective. Skills and employee mismatches are an important issue. These deficiencies keep poor performance and new skills are vital for postal workers, today and the future.

For this reason, we will offer a new, up-to-date JIT Program for the postal sector with a powerful WBL program to support the prosperous growth of the sector by adapting the skills and qualifications of the workforce to the sector to new trends, skill shortages and the satisfaction of demand for new IT skills in the field.

The aim of the NeWPOST Program is to develop a highly skilled, capable and mobile workforce in the postal sector, to provide modern joint vocational training programs for the postal sector with a strong WBL, a new approach to the necessary skills for the postal sector .

In this context, EUROCERT participates as a key partner, contributing with its expertise in person certification schemes and the additional accreditation requirements as derived from ISO / IEC 17024
