In Vinnytsia, participants of the Reboot programme took part in a trial day at work
As part of Occupational Safety and Health Week and the Inclusive Workplaces in Times of War initiative, a trial day was organised for participants of the “Reboot: Expanding Employment Opportunities” programme. This initiative is being implemented by the Ukrainian Red Cross with support from the Spanish Red Cross.
The programme team, alongside its partners, arranged a hands-on experience at Promavtomatyka Vinnytsia LLC. Three participants from vulnerable groups spent the day at the company, getting acquainted with real working conditions, understanding technological processes, and trying out new roles.
During the trial day, the participants learned:
- How production sites operate and who they will need to cooperate with
- What automated technologies are used at the enterprise
- What type of work environment the production process involves
- Which vacancies are currently available, and what career prospects exist
“It’s like a first date with the profession — a day when you get a feel for the team’s atmosphere, see both the benefits and challenges, and can make an informed choice,” shared one of the participants about her experience.
Olena, the company’s HR manager, said,
“We are convinced that the best way to choose your professional path is to experience the profession from the inside. Promavtomatyka Vinnytsia is open to collaborating with anyone who wants to learn and grow with us.”
This experience marked an important step towards employment for the participants, who, with the support of a socially responsible business, were able to feel like part of a production team.
For over a year and a half, the Reboot programme has been helping individuals from vulnerable groups acquire practical skills, adapt to new environments, and confidently navigate their way in the labour market.
