“The goal of the national project “Personnel” is to reduce the personnel shortage by creating mechanisms and tools that will allow additional involvement of the population in employment, ensure professional mobility, and correctly navigate not only the current but also the prospective demand of employers for personnel. And here our main efforts are aimed at working with internal reserves, primarily young people. Today, on the eve of Youth Day, when school graduates and students have passed exams and defended their diplomas, it is especially important to help the children decide on their future work, ensure a seamless transition from education to employment,” said Tatyana Golikova.
The Deputy Prime Minister focused on the key features of the national project’s implementation.
Within the framework of the federal project “Labor Market Management”, annual forecasting of personnel needs is carried out. Since this year, for the first time, a forecast is made for a 7-year period, so that the results of the forecast cover the entire cycle of training qualified specialists.
Over 300,000 companies, employing around 22 million workers, have already taken part in the all-Russian employer survey. Starting next year, all processes related to forecast preparation will be transferred to the Work of Russia portal, which will simplify data verification and processing.
As part of the national project “Personnel”, the modernization of the employment service continues.
“By the end of this year, 50% of employment centers in Russia will have acquired a new look. In the updated centers, the speed of personnel selection based on employers’ requests has increased by 11.5%. The time to employment has decreased by 39%, the number of services for employers has increased by 20%, and for job seekers by 70%,” said Tatyana Golikova.
The federal project “Education for the Labor Market” continues to develop completely new tools. The first of them was presented on June 15 – these are national rankings of college and university graduate employment. In order for the comparison to be as relevant as possible, all educational organizations are divided into areas. It is important that the ranking results are useful not only for the education sector and applicants, but also taken into account by regions and employers.
“As part of the national project “Personnel” to improve the relationship between education and career, we launched a pilot project to support students. This year, 11 regions are in the pilot. Here, the personnel centers “Work of Russia” are building a single career development plan – from the 8th grade to employment in the company. The project has already covered 350 thousand schoolchildren, 100 thousand college students and 74 thousand university students. More than a thousand organizations have joined the pilot. The project ends at the end of June. We will see the first results of supporting our graduates,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
An important element in the link between education and the labour market is targeted training.
As Tatyana Golikova noted, the main demand is for training in higher education programs – about 94 thousand educational places. In addition, since this year, through the portal “Work of Russia”, employers have been able to submit applications for quotas for targeted training for the 2026/27 academic year. This service is in demand, since it allows you to avoid double competition for an educational place and clearly organize work on attracting applicants to the needs of the enterprise. More than 70 thousand companies used it, submitting applications for 132 thousand educational places.
Along with large systemic projects, the implementation of measures to quickly respond to the situation on the labor market continues within the framework of the federal project “Active Measures to Promote Employment.”
“This year, free retraining programs are available for 360 professions. Taking into account the different levels of initial training of applicants, more than 4 thousand training programs have been created for these programs. More than 56 thousand applications for training have already been submitted. Training of employees of defense industry enterprises continues. 198 enterprises have already joined the project, planning to train more than 12 thousand employees. More than 2 thousand people have already undergone retraining,” said Tatyana Golikova.
The “Best in Profession” competition has also been reformatted within the framework of the national project. Almost 230 regional stages of the competition are currently planned.
“The fair’s events for participants are held simultaneously at 1.9 thousand sites – in employment centers, universities and colleges, at enterprises, in shopping centers, popular city spaces. Today I wish all employers and job seekers to find each other. Good luck!” – Tatyana Golikova noted in conclusion.
The session also featured speeches by the President of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Alexander Shokhin, Chairman of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions Sergei Chernogaev, Acting General Director of the All-Russian Research Institute of Labor of the Ministry of Labor Vladimir Smirnov, Head of the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center, Chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of Labor Konstantin Abramov, Director for Development of Strategic Projects at PJSC Rostelecom Vladimir Tatarintsev, and Vice President for Human Resources at AFK Sistema Svetlana Matveeva.
