English translation:Graduate Services (3rd Class)
Explanation:
I can't find anything in the English-speaking world which is a true equivalent, so I've had to make a fairly free translation. I've assumed that a Greek Δ' is equivalent to an English "3rd class" degree (we have 1st, 2:1, 2:2 followed by 3rd).

"Graduate Services" is a known term in the UK. BUT, it tends to be for recent graduates...not really similar to the ΠΕΔΥΠ.

I'll suggest a more literal translation separately (if that's allowed...I'm new here, and need to check the rules!).

Explanation:
Trying to translate διεκπεραίωση would seem hyperfluous to me in this context. However the translation is worded, I don't think Πολιτών needs to be translated...but I may offer one more translation trying to include it.

Citizens' Support for 3rd Class Degree Holders


Explanation:
The UK has the "Citizens' Advice Bureau", but διεκεραίωση suggests more than advice, so I've suggested "support". Personally I don't like this translation at all....just offering it for your comments.
