Of these, over 80 thousand people received offers from employers.

“Today, the labor market in Russia is extremely dynamic, there is high competition among enterprises for qualified specialists. Therefore, events such as the All-Russian Job Fair are necessary. This year it was held for the third time, and we are again seeing high figures. Over 474 thousand job seekers visited the regional stage of the fair in two days,” noted Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.
The total number of venues for the fair’s events is more than 2.7 thousand.
“The All-Russian Job Fair has proven itself to be an effective tool for recruiting employees and finding work. This year, the largest number of visitors to the fair was in the Volga Federal District – 113 thousand people and the Southern Federal District – 79 thousand people. In the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, the regional stage brought together more than 9 thousand job seekers and 720 employers. The Ministry, as before, will monitor employment following the event. At the moment, over 80 thousand people have already received job offers, we will summarize the final results in this part 60 days after the end of the fair,” said Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov.
The program of events for each stage in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation was compiled taking into account the characteristics of the local labor market and is designed for visitors of different ages.
Applicants had the opportunity to meet with leading employers in person, receive advice on the opportunities and support measures of the employment service, take part in an industrial tour of production or a VR tour of enterprises, take career guidance trainings and master classes, including those using artificial intelligence. For example, in the Samara Region, an interactive zone “Get to Know Yourself in a Profession with the Help of AI” was organized, which became a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of various professions and see yourself in new roles. In Buryatia, career guidance testing using the digital platform “PROF-orientir” developed by the Republican Employment Agency was very popular among visitors to the fair. After answering the test questions, respondents identified their main psychological characteristics that are important for choosing a particular profession.
A large number of events at the fair were organized for schoolchildren and students who are just beginning to look at professions and build their career path. In Karelia, they even held a training game “Process Factory” for preschoolers aged 6-7, aimed at introducing children to professions in the catering industry and gaining their first knowledge of the basics of lean manufacturing and organizing teamwork.
This year, as part of the regional stage of the fair, the “Festival of Professions” was held in most regions, dedicated to the large-scale competition “Best in Profession”. Thus, at one of the sites in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, testing of the competition participants in the category “Seamstress” was conducted, and in the Tambov Region, a presentation of the competition in the nomination “Mechanizer” was held.
The federal stage of the job fair will be held in all regions of the country on June 27. Detailed information about the stage will be available atportal “Work of Russia”.
