The State Employment Service and Trinity HUB have launched a joint initiative to help veterans with visual impairments find their place in the workforce. The parties have signed a memorandum that combines medical rehabilitation with the search for meaningful employment. Now, the path from recovery from injury to the first day on the job will be shorter and clearer.
Trinity HUB is a space where veterans are taught basic skills: from navigating the streets to using modern gadgets through sound and touch. The adaptation course lasts three weeks and is completely free. Participants live in a comfortable center, engage in sports, and even dance. This helps them not only master daily life but also regain confidence in their own abilities.
The State Employment Service provides financial and legal support. Specialists help veterans choose a new profession or find a job that matches their experience. Working with businesses is a key focus. The government reimburses employers for the costs of office renovations or the purchase of special software for visually impaired employees. To date, 665 such workplaces have been set up in Ukraine.
Yulia Zhovtyak, head of the employment service, emphasizes that every veteran’s story is unique. The main goal is to ensure that vision loss does not become an obstacle to one’s career.
