Finding your first job is a crucial and responsible step, where every decision can shape your future. During this period, it is essential to take advantage of all available opportunities and the support offered by the Employment Service.
A successful example is the story of Yana Osypenko, a graduate of the “Druzhkivka Vocational College of Donetsk State Machine-Building Academy” who studied economics. After completing her education, Yana was unable to find a job on her own and turned to the Employment Service for assistance.
Together with her career advisor, an individual employment plan was developed for Yana, outlining clear steps and recommendations. In addition, she upgraded her qualifications through the educational program “Professional Interaction: Modern Principles of Business Communication” at the Odesa Center for Vocational Training of the State Employment Service.
While exploring job opportunities, Yana became interested in a barista position offered by entrepreneur Vadym Fedorenko. The job offered a chance to develop communication skills and gain new experience. Employment Service specialists organized an interview, and following the meeting, both the employer and Yana agreed on her employment.
“This is my first job,” Yana says. “It’s important for me to work officially, gain new skills, learn how to communicate with customers, and manage work processes. This experience will help me in the future when I look for a job in my field. I plan to continue my studies and eventually start my own business. Support at the beginning of my career path gives me confidence.”
The employer is also pleased with his new employee and is considering using the compensation program for hiring unemployed individuals from among internally displaced persons, in accordance with Procedure No. 331.
The Employment Service continues to support those taking their first steps in the labor market, helping them define their professional goals, gain new skills, and find their place in life.
