EU launches online job-seekers tool for Ukraine refugees

The European Commission unveiled a new online tool on Monday to help Ukrainians find a job as the bloc looks to extend its protection for those displaced by Russia’s invasion for another year.
Some 4.2 million people who have arrived in the EU from Ukraine are covered by a system giving all those fleeing the conflict accommodation support, health care, education access and the right to enter the EU job market.
European home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson said this system needed to be extended by at least a year until March 2024, with those returning to Ukraine allowed to retain their rights in case they needed to flee again.
The online job-search tool called the “EU Talent Pool” will allow those displaced by Russia’s invasion to upload their CVs, which will be available to more than 4,000 employers, national public employment services and private employment agencies.
