YEREVAN. – In 2015, the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of Armenia helped to find jobs for 15 thousand people who are non-competitive in the labor market, Minister Artem Asatryan said in Parliament on Tuesday.

In his words, assistance is provided also to the Armenian youth who, due to lack of work experience, find it difficult to establish themselves in the labor market. 

As per Asatryan, a respective target program is the three-month paid internship at a workplace in Armenia, and where both the employer and the employee are paid.

“This is just one of the assistance programs,” the minister added. “But overall, they are more than ten.”
