The session was entitled “What next? Put your own experience into action!” and included a meeting with a career advisor and psychologist from the programme. Participants learned about employment opportunities, retraining, starting their own business and the activities of the Red Cross. Veterans shared their experiences of adapting to civilian life, and their family members learned how to support their loved ones during times of change.
The event was held in cooperation with the Lviv Centre for Services to Combatants. The “Reboot” programme, implemented by the Ukrainian Red Cross with the support of the Spanish Red Cross, aims to support vulnerable groups, including veterans, in the areas of professional development, education and self-employment.
