Abstract: The basic aim of this paper is to investigate the impact that the educational level of individuals and participation in training programs had on their job prospects in the three Northern Greek regions during the implementation of the first Community Support Framework - CSF (1989-1993), and we compare this to the entire country. We research the social and demographic characteristics that increase the chances of someone finding a job, whether these change after the introduction of training courses and, whether university graduates face greater difficulties in finding a job. We use individual anonymized records (micro-data) from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) for both employed and unemployed in all areas under examination.
