The spring job fair was held in four communities of Poltava region at once

About forty representatives of employers from the Poltava, Kremenchuk, Myrhorod, and Lubny communities presented their vacancies for those looking for work.

The fair was held in a mixed format. Employers seeking to find employees and people interested in work could meet in person or communicate online. For this purpose, spaces were organized in each community, where representatives of local businesses came. Job seekers could also visit there. Or join the meeting online.

Also during the fair, a brief but meaningful training on the topic "The Formula for Successful Employment" was organized for all interested parties. Educational institutions also joined the event with offers of retraining in relevant specialties.

"We have been organizing job fairs for the third year in a row. Previously, these were classic formats. This time we decided to try a new approach. After all, many people are now used to receiving services remotely. So why not tell them about current vacancies online too? At the same time, we have preserved the traditional option, so to speak - personal communication. We are also introducing this format taking into account the security situation. We will analyze how effective it was and plan another fair in the fall," said Anatoliy Pavlenko, Deputy Director of the Light of Hope Organization.

The job fair was organized within the framework of the project “Supporting the social and financial recovery of war-affected communities in the Poltava region”. It is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the charity organization “Light of Hope” in partnership with JERU (Joint Emergency Response in Ukraine of international NGOs Welthungerhilfe and Concern Worldwide).

The job fair was held with the support of the Poltava Regional Employment Center.
