Programs: Program for Discovering the Professional Potential of War Participants
About the program
One of the most pressing consequences of the 44-day war is the reintegration of war participants into society. If left unaddressed, this challenge may lead to severe repercussions on the quality of life, mental and physical health, and working capacity of individuals, ultimately affecting the overall social and economic welfare of the country.
The Program for Discovering the Professional Potential of War Participants, initiated by the “My Step” Foundation, is designed to foster motivation for professional growth and contribute to the socio-economic reintegration of war participants who were wounded during the war and are currently residing in the provinces of Armenia.
International best practices demonstrate that economic integration is the most effective way to ensure the engagement of individuals in society, as it leads to financial stability, self-sufficiency, and overall social well-being. The program identifies the capabilities and skills of war participants who have acquired disabilities and, based on these findings, creates opportunities for them to maximize their potential in meaningful ways. More specifically key areas of support include: professional skills assessment, training and education programs, mentorship and career guidance, psychological support, financial and strategic support for those looking to start or expand their businesses.
At the end of the program, participants will be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to reintegrate into society as full-fledged, active members with stronger social ties and a healthier mindset. Following their rehabilitation period, they will have the opportunity to return to the labor market, securing stable employment, launching businesses, or acquiring new professional skills. This, in turn, will not only provide them with financial independence but will also allow them to contribute to the country’s economic and social development.
By investing in the professional potential of war participants, this initiative ensures long-term, sustainable reintegration, offering them dignity, purpose, and the means to shape their own future.
