The city has a Municipal Centre for Employment Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons to help IDPs integrate quickly into the local labour market. It operates under the slogan: ‘Odesa Labour Market – Get Employed in Odesa’. This was reported by the Odesa City Council.
The centre’s activities are aimed at providing comprehensive support in the employment of IDPs.
In addition to consultations, it offers detailed information on the local labour market, opportunities for professional training and assistance in establishing contacts with potential employers.
Information and counselling services on employment are provided during working hours in the front offices of the Centres for Integrated Social Services at the following addresses: 2-D Kosovska Street and 9 Akademika Korolyova Street.
Consultations can also be obtained by phone: (048) 753-14-07.
In order to facilitate the employment of IDPs, the institution cooperates with the Odesa branch of the Odesa Regional Employment Centre. Together, they provide information and counselling services on job search and organise mass events (e.g. city job fairs, round tables and seminars) directly in the places of temporary residence of IDPs.
