Due to the continuation of martial law and general mobilization, more and more “male” positions are becoming vacant. The Employment Service has introduced a pilot project that has already involved 763 Ukrainian women in training for professions that were traditionally considered “male”. This was reported by the Employment Service of Ukraine.
Employers who are waiting for new female specialists to join their teams have already sent 405 applications to the Service.
247 participants have already completed the training, of which 212 have successfully found jobs, and another 516 women are continuing their studies.
The most popular professions are:
- woodworking machine operator;
- tractor operator;
- boiler room operator;
- forklift driver;
- trolleybus driver;
- locksmith-repairwoman.
Generally, according to the program, women can choose to master one of 31 traditionally male-dominated professions that are in high demand among employers.
