Thirteen Niche Experts Transferred to Kamchatka
In a significant move to bolster the economy of Kamchatka Krai, a remote and strategically important region in Russia's Far East, thirteen specialists have recently arrived as part of the Active Labor Market Policies (ALMP) regional project under the national project "Human Resources."
Igor Golovanov, Deputy Minister of Labor and Human Resources Development of Kamchatka Krai, announced the arrival of these professionals, who bring unique skills to the region and are contributing to growth in sectors such as mining, healthcare, and aviation. The specialists, who include second pilots, flight mechanics for the Mi-8 helicopter, pharmacists, and other professionals, are scarce in the region.
The ALMP program is designed to address labor shortages in specific professions and benefits businesses in need of qualified personnel. Employers can receive up to one million rubles for each specialist hired, with the funds earmarked for relocation expenses, baggage transportation, housing rental or purchase (including "Far Eastern Mortgage"), and setting up the employee and their family in their new location.
The program is part of a broader initiative to increase labor mobility and provide opportunities for professionals to participate in the development of the Far East. By attracting skilled specialists to Kamchatka Krai, the ALMP program aims to stimulate employment and economic growth in the region.
Though specific details about the ALMP project within Kamchatka Krai's "Human Resources" national project and its role in supporting economic development are not yet clear, it is generally understood that such projects aim to mitigate workforce shortages by enhancing the skills of local residents and attracting professionals in priority sectors. In the case of Kamchatka Krai, these sectors likely include natural resource development, fisheries, emergency services, and infrastructure development.
The ALMP program falls under the national project "Human Resources," which aims to improve the quality of human capital in Russia by providing training, retraining, and upskilling opportunities, facilitating job matching between qualified professionals and employers, and offering incentives or support for attracting skilled specialists to regions or industries with labor shortages.
As these specialists begin their work in Kamchatka Krai, their contributions are already evident in the region's economic development. For more detailed, up-to-date specifics on this project, consulting official Kamchatka Krai government releases or Russia’s national project documentation would be advisable.
- The arrival of second pilots and flight mechanics for the Mi-8 helicopter, along with other professionals, indicates the aviation industry is set to experience growth in Kamchatka Krai.
- To stimulate economic growth in transportation, the ALMP program offers financial incentives for hiring specialists, such as the funding for relocation expenses and housing, in the every-growing transportation sector of Kamchatka Krai.
