Today, the seventh meeting was held, which was devoted to the topic of supporting the reintegration of veterans into professional activities and opportunities for business cooperation in this matter with regional authorities and communities.
the event was attended by the head of the Kiev RMA Ruslan Kravchenko, representatives of the Ministry of Veterans ' Affairs, the regional employment center, veterans and employers.
Providing veterans and female veterans with jobs or helping them start their own businesses is a priority for the Kyiv region.
So, 98 veteran businesses are already operating in the region, founded thanks to the program "grants for veterans and their families". Veteran entrepreneurs develop online services for creating chatbots, provide services for installing solar power plants, create greenhouses, grow greenery, open cafes and educational institutions.
80,276 war veterans and family members of the victims currently live in the Kiev region, including 53,689 veterans with the status of UBD.
As of today, there are more than 2,600 vacancies for veterans in the database of the employment service, so the Kiev region is actively developing mechanisms for employment of veterans and veterans and is ready, if necessary, to provide support from entrepreneurs and the authorities at all stages.
In addition, 8 educational veteran spaces will be created in the Kyiv region to conduct retraining courses for war veterans. Such spaces will be opened on the basis of vocational education institutions and offer mentoring programs for war veterans and their families, in particular, for training in writing grants and promoting employment or retraining.
It is important that to strengthen the possibility of business participation in the program "affordable loans 5-7-9%" in the Kiev region, a joint project is being implemented with the Entrepreneurship Development Fund – "additional compensation of part of the interest to the level of 0% per annum to micro, small and medium-sized businesses". In particular, it is included in the criteria for the rating selection of MSME entities that employed participants in military operations. This will be a great incentive for the employment of war veterans. Thanks to such innovations, about 30 participants of military operations have already been employed.
"Today, within the framework of the platform "dialogue of government and business", we also presented successful cases of employment of veterans in the Kiev region. And these devices show that the integration of veterans is mutually beneficial for all parties and motivates and inspires businesses to create new employment opportunities. I thank those businesses that have already accepted our defenders into their teams and I am sure that after today's meeting, statistics will only grow," Ruslan Kravchenko stressed.
