Creating jobs for people with disabilities is a quick response from the Government to the acute problem. A person with disabilities must receive high-quality professional development training to increase his/her competitiveness which is to be implemented through the introduction of educational vouchers, joint training programs with the State Employment Service of Ukraine and employers.
“To support people with disabilities, we are creating a platform to ease contact between employers and potential employees. The focus is on the access of people to jobs and socio-cultural objects,” said Prime Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Honcharuk.
The Government’s program of activities envisages one of the priorities – the development of rehabilitation services for people with disabilities and their gradual expansion, along with ensuring the principle “money follows the patient,” the transition to partial monetization of technical and other means, as well as raising the level of pension provision.
“A person with disabilities must not be isolated from society and should receive a decent level of care and support. And those who want to work and whose health status allows, will have every opportunity for that,” added the Minister of Social Policy Yulia Sokolovska.
