The approach to employment is based on five key areas of accessibility: physical, educational, economic, informational accessibility, and employment support.
Ukraine is currently celebrating National Accessibility Week as part of the strategy to create a barrier-free space at the initiative of the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska.
Physical accessibility concerns ensuring that all employment service premises are truly accessible to all.
Economical convenience is supported thanks to the "Own Business" program, which aims to help create businesses and new jobs.
Information accessibility strengthened after the launch of the "Single Window for Services" on the service's website, which unites 238 partner organizations.
Employment availability can be provided through individual support using a case management approach, in particular for socially vulnerable groups of the population.
However, one of the most important areas of work is educational accessibility. After all, this is one of the most powerful tools for increasing the competitiveness of citizens. The ability to undergo training and retraining in a timely and convenient manner is the key to competitiveness in the labor market. In accordance with modern requirements, such an opportunity has been created both in the usual way for citizens - offline, and remotely - online.
Understanding changes in the labor market, the employment service is constantly expanding the list of professions for which you can receive a training voucher - now there are 155 positions.
Understanding the importance of many work processes, the State Employment Service is actively developing workplace internships.
To support combatants and people with disabilities as a result of the war, an experimental project is underway to acquire new professions that are in demand on the labor market today. Currently, these include, in particular, drivers, tractor drivers, cooks, welders, and IT specialists.
Since the end of last year, an experimental project has been implemented to train women in professions that were until recently mistakenly considered male. The project involves not only receiving education, but also further employment. Women are training in more than 30 professions, such as tractor drivers, machine operators, locksmiths, tram and trolleybus drivers, electric welders, and others.
