Instead of a classifier of professions, there will be a Unified Register of Qualifications

On May 9, the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Improving the National Qualifications System in Accordance with the Actual Needs of the Labor Market and Other Issues"(No. 9630). This was reported by Zheleznyak on his Telegram channel.

This Law comes into force on the day following the day of its publication.

The purpose of the document is to streamline the qualification system and create a Unified Register of Qualifications (Classifier of Occupations) by combining the National Classifier of Occupations, the Handbook of Qualification Characteristics of Employee Occupations, the Register of Qualifications, their digitalization and synchronization with other databases so that the process of exchanging and accessing information on professional qualifications is fast, transparent and meets the needs of the labor market in real time.

The authority to maintain the Unified Register of Qualifications (Classifier of Occupations) to a collegial body in the field of qualifications is due to the nature of the tasks facing such a body, which was created according to the modern European model of social partnership, which has proven to be the most effective for the qualifications sector in Western Europe. Therefore, the purpose of authorizing the collegial body in the field of qualifications is to facilitate the implementation of the tasks in the field of qualifications facing the state and to promote the efficiency of their implementation.
