In Irkutsk Region, an advanced retraining program was launched to help people who lost their jobs quickly learn in demand professions. At Lyceum 17 in Irkutsk, 56 people are already studying former accountants, lawyers and managers are learning plastering, painting, welding and other trades with guaranteed future employment. 200 million rubles will soon be allocated to support the labor market in the region, and you can get a new specialty without unemployed status in 46 educational institutions in the region.

In the conditions of the economic crisis, many people have to change not only their place of work, but also their profession. In the Irkutsk Region, an advanced retraining program has been created for such people. Yesterday, Deputy Chairman of the Government Alexander Moiseyev visited Irkutsk Lyceum No. 17. At present, 56 people who have been laid off or dismissed are mastering new professions there, mostly blue-collar ones.
The regional employment center sent them to the lyceum and paid for the courses. Now former accountants, lawyers, and managers are studying to become plasterers, painters, stove builders, welders, etc. Under the agreement, after completing their studies they will be guaranteed employment.
By the way, unemployment is now being fought proactively. 200 million rubles: 58 million from the regional treasury, the rest from the federal one, - will soon be allocated to the Angara region to stabilize the labor market situation. They will go toward advanced retraining. A person who is still working as part of a labor collective will have the opportunity to obtain a new profession or improve their qualifications. This will help them find a job in the event of a layoff.
A new workshop is being prepared for opening at the lyceum. A month ago, the educational institution received the relevant license. This year, it will begin training installers of sanitary and ventilation systems here.
At present, 31,700 unemployed people are registered with the employment center of the Irkutsk Region. There are few vacancies in economic and legal specialties, so the issue of retraining is more relevant than ever. The region needs carpenters, welders, and restoration builders.
It is possible to obtain an additional profession at 46 educational institutions in the region, and it is not necessary to be unemployed. Retraining courses can be completed without leaving one's main job.
