A new digital platform called "Obriy" is set to launch in Ukraine soon, aimed at helping the unemployed find jobs and receive necessary support. This was announced by Prime Minister Yuliya Svyrydenko.
She stated that the government has already approved the launch of this platform. Svyrydenko explained that the new system will operate through the “Diia” app.
Ukrainians will be able to:
- register their unemployed status;
- apply for assistance;
- officially resign from jobs in temporarily occupied territories;
- receive a grant of up to 15,000 UAH for retraining.
The system will utilize artificial intelligence to identify individuals who have lost their jobs and match them with suitable vacancies based on skills, experience, and location.
Real-time data will aid the government and businesses in forecasting the demand for specialists. The State Employment Service will be the administrator of the new system, and all key government institutions will be involved in its operation.
Svyrydenko also noted that if a person does not find a job within 60 days of dismissal, career advisors from the employment service will offer them job vacancies, training, retraining, or grants even before officially obtaining unemployment status.
