DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS UNDER MARTIAL LAW IN UKRAINE
Full text (pdf)
Language: Ukrainian
Abstract. The article explores the peculiarities of the development of the qualification system in Ukraine under the conditions of military challenges. The authors focus on the changes in workforce training and the adaptation of the labour market to the new realities caused by russian aggression and martial law. The issue of balancing the training of qualified personnel with the demand in the labour market is a complex problem that requires significant effort. For Ukraine, this situation is further complicated by the consequences of the pandemic and pre-existing issues such as the lack of statistics and forecasts for qualification demand, overproduction of graduates by educational institutions, and low levels of training due to insufficient skills and abilities. Additional difficulties are created by the legacy of the Soviet labour system and ineffective regulatory policies. With the onset of military aggression, the country has faced new challenges. The main problems of the Ukrainian labour market under martial law concern maintaining the economy, workforce outflow, and other emerging difficulties. Despite significant losses, positive trends have been observed since 2023, such as employment stabilisation due to the support of international partners and the transition of the economy to a military footing. Key factors include the creation of new jobs, regulatory simplifications, and the development of distance education. There is a growing demand for qualifications related to the wartime economy and active retraining of adults. The authors analyse the impact of military actions on the requirements for professional skills and employee training across various sectors. Attention is given to the need for rapid retraining and skill upgrading. The article also discusses government measures to support and develop qualifications, including legislative initiatives and skill enhancement programs for different population groups. Several conclusions are drawn, offering recommendations for improving the qualification system, including the need for innovation in education, the development of digital technologies, and active integration with the European labour market. It is emphasised that an important direction for reform is the harmonisation of the education system with European standards.
