Mapping Study: Career Development and Self-Employment Opportunities
The study is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of socio-economic development, the labour market, business development, and self-employment in the Ivankiv and Dymer communities. It systematises key labour market actors, identifies population needs, existing opportunities, and the potential for community recovery. The Mapping Study serves as an analytical tool for building a structured understanding of the local labour market’s composition and dynamics, including the impact of demographic changes, the consequences of the war, and business adaptation to new conditions. Particular attention is paid to retraining and skills development, cooperation between local self-government bodies, employment centres, and educational institutions, as well as practical aspects of business and self-employment support.

The analytical report was prepared by the Charitable Organisation “CF “Rokada” within the framework of the project “Increasing Socio-Economic and Psychological Resilience of Vulnerable People in Rural Communities of Kyiv Region”, supported by AWO International and funded by German Cooperation Deutshe Zusammenarbeit і Aktion Deutschland Hilft.
The Rokada Charitable Foundation is an implementing partner of the UN Refugee Agency in Ukraine and has been operating for over 20 years. Until February 2022, the Foundation's team consisted of twenty people who helped refugees from more than forty countries to settle in Ukraine: Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria, etc.
On February 24, 2022, everything changed: for Ukrainians, for refugees, for Rokada. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, based on 20 years of experience and support from international organizations, our Foundation has developed a network of regional offices in 14 regions of the country. Today, hundreds of specialists help the affected population, internally displaced persons and asylum seekers on a daily basis.
