Another group of people have been issued referrals for employment under the “Friend of the Unemployed” programme at the Nakhchivan Regional DOST Center.

These individuals were selected from among citizens registered as unemployed or jobseekers with the State Employment Agency under the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

They will be employed in such areas as landscaping, greening, maintenance of parks and public places, provision of social services, and other related activities.

The “Friend of the Unemployed” programme implemented by the DOST Employment Center aims to ensure the employment of unemployed persons and jobseekers, help them acquire basic vocational knowledge and skills, and expand their opportunities to access the labour market.

Within the framework of the programme, an employment contract is concluded with each person engaged in paid public works. This provides the basis for their future labour and social protection rights.

A total of 164 services in the social sector, including employment services, are provided through a “one-stop shop” at the Nakhchivan Regional DOST Center.
