Due to the situation around the State Employment Service, representatives of public organizations of Kharkiv asked to pay your attention to the high efficiency of the Employment Service of Kharkivska oblast.
The Employment service of the Kharkiv region, led V.L. Minenko is the government structure that works extremely professionally and conscientiously, it is opened for cooperation and always ready to support socially important projects and initiatives not only in words but by the personal participation.
A distinctive feature of the Employment service of the Kharkiv region is a fast reaction to the difficulties that socially vulnerable groups have with employment — providing of legal support, organization of free consultations of psychologists and adaptation seminars for IDPs and demobilized ATO soldiers, creating comfortable conditions for retraining. It is necessary to emphasize that Ukraine's first Information and Resource Center at the Kharkiv regional employment center, which runs from April 2015, works effectively.
According to local media, particularly "Objectiv.tv«, the employment statistics as of August 2015 shows that nearly 40% of IDPshave already found a job, who appealed to the Employment Service in Kharkiv and got the status of unemployed.
The Employment service of the Kharkiv region constantly and efficiently cooperates with public and voluntary organizations, which aimed at supporting people in difficult situations. Support of the Service representatives in these cases is more than the formal work and it is an example of concern and clear citizenship of its employees and manager. Here are some examples:
Alternation of representatives of the Kharkiv City Employment Center at the information and consulting point of the station of the volunteer initiative „Station Kharkov“ (volunteer organization established to help IDPs) side by side with point’s volunteers in working and non-working hours – on weekdays and weekends. Alternation of the Center’s employment in other points of IDPs’s support.
Volunteers’ support of the “Station Kharkiv” in points of IDPs’s assist in the regional centers of Kharkivska oblast, operating under the project „Station Region“ (project is implemented by VI „Station Kharkiv“ supported by UNHCR).
Information support by volunteers- recruitment consultants — quick response to all the issues that arise in the work process, information seminars for volunteers on all matters related to employment. High-quality and timely information support to the implementation of social projects aimed at social adaptation and IDPs employment in Kharkiv and oblast.
