Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: Use of e-learning and online education today is widely applicable in many fields such as higher education, the social structures and non-profit structures, associations and local communities, education of workers in banks. The aim of this work is to study a first approximation how utility and especially how workable is to achieve active involvement of online vocational training in Greece focusing on public system of OAED. The economic downturn has exacerbated the chronic structural labour market problems, unemployment in Greece recorded the highest growth rate in the EU increased by 209% compared to 2008, with economic costs to the country. The last decade the percentage of participation in lifelong learning processes ranging from 1.8% (2004) to 3.3% (2009). During the same period, the European average is between 8.4% (2003) and 10.4% (2013). An increase of holding only 58% (600,000 persons) of unemployed would create a market of 600.000.000 € with resulting increase of approximately 3% of GDP.
