Changing a profession in adulthood is absolutely possible. This story is a vivid example that a new professional path can begin at any stage of life.
For nearly 20 years, Inna Voloshyna from Sloviansk worked as an accountant and also had experience in entrepreneurship. However, life circumstances changed, and she found herself without a job. The woman turned to the State Employment Service of Ukraine for support and decided to master a new profession.
Together with a career guidance specialist, they identified a field that matched her interests and abilities — the sewing industry.
After analyzing employers’ needs, specialists of the employment service suggested that grant recipient Olena Ohorodnykova, who runs a clothing production business and needs tailors to meet the requirements of a grant program, employ Inna after she completes vocational training.
The training was organized at the Poltava Center for Vocational and Technical Education of the State Employment Service under an individual program tailored to the needs of the future employer.
To obtain her new profession, Inna traveled to Poltava. Since the training took place outside her place of residence, she was provided with free accommodation in a dormitory and full reimbursement of travel expenses to the place of study and back after completing the program.
So, it is never too late to change your profession. The most important thing is to take the first step.
We wish Ms. Inna success and confidence on her new professional path, and Ms. Olena continued business growth and a reliable team.
