Like many other Ukrainians, Olena Vlasova lost nearly everything due to the war: her home in Velyka Novosilka, her beloved job as a nurse, and her sense of stability. Relocating to the Dnipropetrovsk region marked the beginning of a completely different life — one filled with challenges, uncertainty, and the need to start over from scratch.
In a difficult moment, Olena turned to the employment service, and that step proved to be a turning point. The employment service specialists not only provided professional advice, but also helped her create a resume, identify potential career paths, find relevant job openings, and supported her throughout every stage of the job search. Thanks to this support, Olena was able not only to find a new job but to change her entire professional trajectory.
Today, she works as a technician at a company specializing in the production of hookah briquettes and charcoal. This is a completely new experience for her, but she is confidently mastering the profession and discovering new meaning in her work.
“The employment service became a real pillar of support for me. The help I received restored my self-belief. It means so much to know you’re not alone,” Olena shares.
The Donetsk Region Employment Service continues its mission to ensure that everyone who finds themselves in new and difficult circumstances has the opportunity to return to active professional life.
Career counseling, job matching, support in learning new skills — all of this is available for anyone seeking a fresh start.
