YEREVAN, November 18. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Ministry of Labor and Social
Affairs opened today a job counseling center in Yerevan. The opening
of the center was part of the WB program for social welfare reforms.
RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and RA Minister of Labor Arsen
Hambardzumyan participated in the opening of the centre.
The labor minister said the reason for growing unemployment is
the supply-demand imbalance. "Our task is to train specialists who
will easily find their place in the labor market," Hambardzumyan,
underlining the problem of youth unemployment.
"The center’s mission is to predict the labor market trends and
guide senior students in choosing their future profession," the
minister said.
Director of the counselling center Haykuhi Gevorgyan said the
specialists of the center offer group consultations, including
presentations, games and demonstrations, as well as individual
consultations and tests helping to choose the right profession. The
future specialists can also use the large resource center and a
database. The services of the center are free of charge.
