Ukraine offers a strategy to involve young people in rebuilding the country, announcing its intention to create an Alliance for the development of the workforce in Ukraine and abroad. The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, Andriy Chesnokov, emphasized the need for active involvement of the Ukrainian diaspora and government bodies to stimulate the return of young specialists home.
According to the estimates of the Ministry of Economy, Ukraine needs at least 5.4 million jobs to start the recovery of the country. These young people are an important resource for starting the reconstruction of Ukrainian society, Chesnokov emphasized.
While participating in the conference "Diaspora and the global Ukrainian community - strong partners in the restoration of Ukraine" in Berlin, Chesnokov emphasized the importance of the feelings of young Ukrainians who are currently abroad and their role in the process of the country's restoration.
According to Chesnokov, the International Conference on the Reconstruction of Ukraine (URC2024), which will be held in Berlin on June 11-12, 2024, will be an important forum for discussing recovery strategies, in particular, regarding the involvement of youth and the development of human capital. The idea of creating the Alliance for Workforce Development in Ukraine and beyond is aimed at providing young Ukrainians with the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to further contribute to the restoration of the state.
