Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova held a regular meeting of the Commission under the President of the Russian Federation on Veterans' Affairs. The members of the commission discussed the measures taken to facilitate the employment of veterans of the special military operation, their professional training and additional professional education in in-demand professions.
"The issue of employment of SVO participants is under the special control of the head of state. Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the Government, together with the state fund "Defenders of the Fatherland" and the regions, to organize interaction with SVO participants and their family members, including those who have not applied to the employment service, to provide them with support measures, assistance in employment and obtaining additional professional education," said Tatyana Golikova.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the Government has approved an interdepartmental plan of measures to improve the level of employment of SVO participants and organize their career guidance. The plan provides psychological, social and legal support for SVO participants in their employment, assistance in obtaining the necessary documents, and holding specialized job fairs with the participation of regional employers.
At present, more than 10.5 thousand participants of the SVO and their family members have applied to the employment service agencies; they have been provided with more than 33 thousand state services in the field of employment assistance, such as job search, career guidance and others.
The largest number of demobilized participants of the SVO are employed in manufacturing, transport, trade, construction and public administration.
A number of measures are envisaged to ensure employment of SVO participants and their family members. Thus, they have the right to receive assistance from employment service agencies in priority training and employment.
An employee participating in the SVO is provided with the retention of his/her job and social and labor guarantees that he/she had before the start of participation in the SVO. A special procedure for taking into account the length of service for the purpose of assigning a pension has been established.
As part of the national project "Personnel" launched on January 1, 2025, professional training is provided to participants of the SVO, as well as their family members. The training is carried out in accordance with the list of 360 professions, positions, and specialties in demand on the labor market approved in February 2025. An information resource for receiving and routing applications for training has been created on the "Work of Russia" portal.
Following the discussion, the following was instructed.
The Russian Ministry of Labor, together with the Social Fund, shall conduct an analysis of cases of employment of demobilized participants of the SVO who have had zero income or income below the minimum wage for a month (or for the last six months), as well as an analysis of the reasons for the current situation in the context of each identified case.
The State Foundation "Defenders of the Fatherland" shall formulate and send to the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education proposals on training aimed at improving the qualifications of SVO participants, with the aim of their employment in jobs (positions, professions) in which SVO participants have expressed a desire to carry out labor activities taking into account the acquired qualifications, as well as proposals on the formation in the subjects of registers of professions in demand among SVO participants.
In order to improve the organization of work on the employment of demobilized participants of the SVO, as well as for the future demobilization of participants of the SVO, the highest executive bodies of the subjects for the training (if necessary) of demobilized participants of the SVO, as well as their subsequent employment, should study the issue of the adequacy of the personnel potential of employment services to support the process of employment of demobilized participants of the SVO, and also conduct an analysis of the availability of vacant (reserved, planned for creation) jobs for the employment of this category of citizens.
The highest executive bodies of the constituent entities are recommended to strengthen their work on the employment of SVO participants, including SVO disabled persons, as well as their family members, using employment services (the "one-stop shop" principle, personal career consultant), the unified digital platform "Work of Russia", and to ensure continuous monitoring of this work and interaction between interested bodies. Inform SVO participants and their family members about the possibility of a priority order of using the mechanism of state social assistance on the basis of a social contract, about the right of employment service bodies to assist them in priority training and employment, about the activities of the national project "Personnel" for vocational training and additional vocational education of SVO participants and their family members, as well as employers about existing measures to stimulate the hiring of certain categories of citizens (through partial compensation of wages to employers), reimbursement of part of the costs of equipping workplaces for employment, including combat veterans with disabilities.
