Together, we will explore how to help young people and families affected by the war find employment, develop new professional skills, and secure a stable income.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The war has significantly affected the economic well-being of Ukrainian families. Many people have been forced to relocate, lost their jobs, or faced new circumstances that make finding employment more difficult.<\/p>\n<p>These challenges are particularly acute for internally displaced persons (IDPs), military families, people with disabilities, women raising children on their own, and those caring for family members.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, local businesses need employees, educational institutions offer vocational training opportunities, and civil society organizations and social services help people overcome difficult life circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can we connect these opportunities so that people can find employment, receive the support they need, and secure a stable income?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This question will be at the heart of <strong>\u201cFrom Youth to Families: Economic Resilience of Communities During Wartime,\u201d<\/strong> an event organized by the Platform for Social Change as part of its <em>\u201cSpace for Collaboration\u201d<\/em> event series.<\/p>\n<h2>What Will We Discuss?<\/h2>\n<p>The event will bring together representatives of businesses, educational institutions, local authorities, employment services, civil society organizations, and people who directly experience barriers to employment.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will explore:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Employment opportunities.<\/strong> What skills and qualifications are local employers looking for, and which professions are currently in demand?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Education and reskilling.<\/strong> How can we help people acquire new professional skills or adapt their existing qualifications to labor market needs?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Support for vulnerable families.<\/strong> What barriers prevent people from finding suitable employment, even when they are willing and able to work?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Youth employment and entrepreneurship.<\/strong> What existing practices help young people gain professional experience, launch their own initiatives, and contribute to local economic development?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collaboration between organizations.<\/strong> How can employers, educational institutions, local communities, and civil society organizations work together to create new employment opportunities?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Special attention will be given to practical solutions, including internships, vocational training, self-employment support, and assistance in helping people achieve stable incomes.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Should Attend?<\/h2>\n<p>We invite:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Employers and business representatives<\/strong> looking for employees, interested in developing a skilled workforce, or willing to offer internship opportunities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Representatives of vocational education institutions and training centers<\/strong> providing professional education, short-term courses, and reskilling programs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Representatives of local communities, local authorities, and employment services<\/strong> working on local economic development, employment, and social support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Civil society organizations, charities, and social services<\/strong> supporting internally displaced persons, veterans, military families, and other vulnerable groups.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Youth and entrepreneurship initiatives<\/strong> interested in strengthening local economies and creating new opportunities within communities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>People seeking employment or training opportunities<\/strong>, particularly internally displaced women, single mothers, women from military families, women with disabilities, and those balancing employment with caregiving responsibilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>You do not need to represent an organization or have entrepreneurial experience to participate.<\/strong> The personal experiences, needs, and perspectives of people seeking economic independence are equally important.<\/p>\n<h2>What Can Participants Expect?<\/h2>\n<p>The event will go beyond traditional presentations, offering opportunities for collaborative work, knowledge exchange, and the development of practical solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will have the opportunity to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect with local employers, educational institutions, and support organizations.<\/li>\n<li>Learn about current labor market needs and professional development opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Share their own experiences, needs, and ideas.<\/li>\n<li>Identify potential partners for joint initiatives.<\/li>\n<li>Contribute to developing practical solutions that improve employment opportunities in local communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>We expect the event to result in concrete commitments between employers, educational institutions, local authorities, and support organizations to expand opportunities for training, internships, employment, and ongoing assistance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>When and
