During October 2020 face-to-face trainings for unemployed IDPs, local residents and youth were held in seven partner communities of the “Promotion of Social Infrastructure Development. USIF VI” Project.

The trainings are conducted by representatives of municipal employment centers and youth institutions, who were previously taught in modern methods and tools of training work on career guidance and employment assistance within the framework of this Program.

Under mentorship of experienced trainers, they managed to develop their own training courses for residents of their communities, including internally displaced persons.

During trainings, participants from among partner communities members and IDPs gain knowledge and practice skills of overcoming psychological barriers and effective self-presentation during interviews, self-analysis, resume writing and other skills useful in job search. Particular attention is paid to the formation of IDPs active position regarding job search.

Senior pupils are introduced to the most popular and promising professions and ways to choose them, taught to form a positive attitude towards their future, provided assistance in determining abilities. All this helps to increase the level of intrinsic motivation to achieve their own life goals.

Trainings are conducted in conformity with the requirements for protection of the population from infectious diseases. The following training events will be held online.
