BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 25. The State
Employment Agency under the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection
of Population of Azerbaijan has already engaged 1,137 residents
relocated to the Khojaly district in employment programs, a source
in the agency told Trend.
According to the source, 1,099 of them have found jobs
(including the creation of small farms as part of a self-employment
program for 198 residents resettled in the district), and 38 have
been enrolled in vocational training.
"Efforts are actively being made to facilitate the employment of
an additional group of residents. Their job prospects are currently
under evaluation, and the specific employment program they will
participate in is being determined," the source added.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan's “Great Return” program prioritizes
ensuring employment for internally displaced persons (IDPs) until
they resettle in the liberated territories. As part of this policy,
implemented by the State Employment Agency, residents' professional
skills are assessed, and job vacancies in the liberated territories
are identified to ensure their economic stability after returning
home. This initiative is an important component of the broader
“Great Return” project aimed at restoring and resettling
territories liberated after the 2020 Second Karabakh War.
